The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has mentioned what he considers as “the bottom line” of his quarrel with Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman
The protracted quarrel between the two has the potential to thwart the governor’s second term ambition and even prevent the APC from winning the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state.
“Our quarrel has been that we are doing things that are outside the constitution of our party. The logic of democracy is that it’s the people that should drive democracy. Democracy should be built bottom-up, and not top-down. Democracy should start from the base,” the governor said. Mr Obaseki said in the Channels TV interview that he has not met nor spoken with the APC national chairman “recently”.
The Oshiomhole-Obaseki political fight has crippled the Edo State House of Assembly . It has also factionalised the APC in the state.Mr Oshiomhole and the National Working Committee of the APC have settled for direct method for the primary, while Governor Obaseki and the faction of the APC in Edo State that is loyal to him want an indirect primary.
