Any End In Sight To Edo APC Crisis? Going by current developments within the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), there is no doubt that all is not well with the party
Going by current developments within the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress , there is no doubt that all is not well with the party in the state.
Today, the streets of Benin appear to be tentatively calm and quiet, but this barely masks the slight of division and discontent between the pro- Oshiomhole and pro- Obaseki groups in the state. A few weeks back, at a special thanksgiving mass to mark the 80th birthday of former APC national chairman and first executive governor of the state, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Obaseki had told the congregation during the service that he had met with his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, and that efforts were being made to resolve issues created by third parties in the state, stressing that there were no fundamental issues between them.
The APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, had after the visit described Obaseki, as his brother who he had been in contact with from time to time. Many have described Obaseki’s move as a role of a leading light who means well for the progress of his party after setting up a committee to look into pre- election crises and resolve the differences among the warring parties in the APC in the state.
With these developments, analysts believe that the party is getting its groove back and the governor was right on track. “Oshiomhole knew what he was doing when he brought Obaseki to serve and adopted him as his successor. So far, Obaseki has proven his critics wrong and had justified his boss’ decision to entrust him with the state. If Obaseki had failed, that could have been the only reason why the conspiracy to deny him a second ticket would have crept in but as it stands, he has beaten expectations even with the little resources at his disposal,” he said.
“Being the only state now controlled by the party in the entire south-south and south- east, I think those beating the drum of war should thread with caution. We know all of them and because they are benefiting from the crisis, they are ready to bring the state down. They should be careful before Edo State is mortgaged,” Abas Eshiotse, a party faithful had recently warned.under the firm grip of the PDP since the inception of the fourth republic.
