But a statement issued by Okorocha’s Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, read: “Oshiomhole was determined right from the outset to destroy APC in the Southeast and unknown to party chieftains from the zone who had genuinely supported his chairmanship. He is playing the politics of 2023 in 2019 and, in playing it, he has thrown caution to the wind.
“And when the APC members across the nation are still celebrating the success of the party in the Presidential and National Assembly elections, Oshiomhole in his wisdom or lack of it, felt that the best action in the circumstance was to suspend two governors who did well in the elections, even when he played safe in 2015 and 2019 in Edo State without any known pressure.
Efforts to get Amosun’s reaction through his media aides, Rotimi Durojaiye and Eshomomoh Imoudu, failed, as calls to them were not answered.
