BREAKING: Edo 2020: Obaseki speaks on disqualification from APC Primary

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said that he would not appeal his unjust disqualification by the Governorship Primary Screening Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), noting that the action is 'a mockery of the democratic process.'

In a statement, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, said, “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 . 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.”

He added, “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 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.”
