Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki has vowed not to appeal his
disqualification from the governorship primaries of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) slated for June 22.
The Governor, in a statement by his media aide, Crusoe Osagie,
said it was futile appealing when the National Chairman, Adams
Oshiomhole has allegedly orchestrated the move from the
beginning.
While calling on his supporters to be calm, he urged them to
wait for further directives.
“We have watched the mockery of democratic process, which
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, is administering and superintending over
in our great party the All Progressives Congress (APC). It has been
an unfortunate, disheartening and dreadful spectacle.
“We had initially asserted that going by the open display and
enthronement of illegality by one man in the party that comprises
several organs and eminent personalities, there is no way that
Governor Godwin Obaseki would get a fair assessment in the run-up
to the nomination of candidates to fly the flag of the party in the
forthcoming Edo gubernatorial election.
“It is unfortunate that this open show of shame, illegality and
travesty of justice is the brand of democracy which Comrade
Oshiomhole has reduced the APC into. The situation is quite
saddening because this is a party supposedly reputed for change,
equity and social justice”
“We have therefore decided that it would be effort in futility
to appeal whatever the unjust outcome of the evaluation and
screening process of the APC will be, especially when Comrade
Oshiomhole has declared that he is the Supreme Court and ultimate
determiner of the fate and future of our great party.
“We wish Oshiomhole luck in his maladministration of the party
and trust that the Almighty will help our country to find the path
to true liberty, freedom and justice.
“We call on all party members and the teeming supporters of
Governor Obaseki to remain calm and await further directives.”
