Obaseki’s screening was hatchet job — Oyegun - The Nation Nigeria

Oyegun, a strong supporter of the governor, said GovernorObaseki’s disqualification was designed to pave the way for the installation of a stooge.

The immediate past national chairman of the All Progressives Congress , Chief John Oyegun, declared on Friday that the decision of the party’s screening panel to disqualify Governor Godwin Obaseki from the party’s forthcoming governorship primary was nothing short of a hatchet job.

“While not a surprise, that disqualification is a clear indication that internal democracy has been murdered in APC; a party which we founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience! In a separate response on Friday, Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Political Matters , Osaigbovo Iyoha warned that “the arbitrariness and persistent disregard for the rule of law” by the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, would cost the party dearly in the September governorship election in Edo State.

He said: “For Oshiomhole, it is either Obaseki goes or he destroys the party. He is destroying the party’s ticket the way he destroyed Zamfara, Imo and Rivers states tickets. I hope the party leaders and the President live up to their responsibilities and put Oshiomhole where he belongs.
