The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki to contest the party’s primaries for the Edo state governorship elections.
Making the announcement late Saturday in Abuja, APC National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole said Obaseki, in addition to presenting faulty certificates, had abused his powers as Governor of Edo State.
The APC National Chairman said the party has cleared three persons that will participate in the Edo state primaries: Hon. Pius Odubu, Mr. Osaro Obaze, and Pastor Osagie Eze-Iyamu.
He accused Obaseki of orchestrating the inauguration of only nine out of 24 members of the State House of Assembly, an act he described as unacceptable to the party.
He insisted that Obaseki frustrated moves to resolve the issue as he obtained court orders restraining the Senate President, the National Assembly and the reconciliation committee from intervening in the matter.
Oshiomhole added that the party’s constitution had empowered the NWC to screen all aspirants for significant political positions.APC’s NWC Upholds Obaseki’s Disqualification.
