Edo 2020: Obaseki’s disqualification may affect APC’s chances – Tony Momoh

A former Minister of Information, Tony Momoh, on Friday said the All Progressives Congress (APC) should not expect ‘a tea party ‘in the Edo governorship election owing to the crisis at the state chapter.

, on Friday said the All Progressives Congress should not expect ‘a tea party ‘in the Edo governorship election owing to the crisis at the state chapter.

He was reacting to Friday’s disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki by APC Screening Committee from participating in the party’s governorship primary. The former minister said the disqualification of Mr Obaseki was another serious development which might affect the chances of the party at the polls, if not resolved.

“As for the disqualification of Obaseki, I won’t say much because it is still a party affair. Obaseki is the sitting governor and if his disqualification stays, it might affect the party.“With what is happening in Edo APC, I think any party can win in the governorship election,” he said.
