Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress , has reacted to the report that Governor Godwin Obaseki has rejected direct primary for the coming governorship election in Edo State.
The former labour leader said this yesterday while fielding questions from reporters at the end of a closed-door meeting with some APC governors. Asked to specifically react to the reports that the Edo State Governor, who is seeking a second term on the party’s platform, had rejected the direct mode of primary, Oshiomhole said, “I don’t have any letter or document to that effect. These are very formal matters.
“And of course, the NWC had approved direct primaries for Edo. That of Ondo has not been discussed because that will come much later, because Edo will come about three weeks before Ondo.”
