How Obaseki can rejoin APC – Spokesperson
The appointment of the screening panel, the appeal panel and now the primary election committee was taken by the NWC and, therefore, could not be cancelled, he said.
“The issue of him participating in the primary, that one is closed. We have moved beyond application by candidates, screening, and appeal. What we are trying to do now is the primary.” The deputy national secretary of the APC, Victor Gaidom, had added a twist on Wednesday to the APC crisis when he told journalists in Abuja he was the acting national chairman of the APC, with Mr Oshiomhole now on suspension, and not the deputy national chairman, Abiola Ajimobi who was announced as such by the party.
Mr Gaidom announced the cancellation of the screening which led to Governor Obaseki’s disqualification. “Our party, the All Progressives Congress, will no longer allow local quests for the control of power to influence our decisions. As your Acting National Chairman and presiding officer in the NWC, we, therefore, cancel the decision of the Screening and Appeal Committees of the former chairman of the party on the Edo primaries,” he said.
