The vote of confidence followed Monday’s viral report that the APC chieftain had been suspended by APC executives in his Ward under the chairmanship of Hon. Osawe Osayemwenre and 11 others.
Osagie, who was the Director of Contact and Mobilization, South-South Zone, for the APC Presidential Campaign Council had earlier described the suspension as illegal and against Article 21 of the party’s constitution. But, reacting to the Hon. Osawe Osayemwenre-led executives’ action against Osagie, the chairman of the party in Umagbae South Ward 6, Hon.

David Imuse, condemned the suspension while urging the party’s leadership to disregard the said suspension. Part of letter reads, “That the complaints against Rt Hon Samson Osagie, neither emanated from his unit, nor ward, nor from the ward Executive of Umagbse South Ward of Uhunmwode Local Government Area where Rt Hon Samson Osagie is a party leader and a registered voter.
