The Executives of the All Progressive Congress, Edo state chapter has formally validates the suspension of the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, from the party in the state.
The official validation of the suspension was made at an enlarged meeting of the council and other party chieftains with the state governor, Godwin Obaseki.
At the meeting, the leaders said the suspension of Comrade Oshiomhole became necessary because the national chairman has been deploying divisive tactics to cause disharmony in the party in collaboration with the proscribed group, Edo Peoples Movement (EPM).
While addressing APC leaders from the 18 Local Government Areas of the state, the State Chairman of the APC, Anslem Ojezua, said the news of his removal was shocking as the State Working Committee, which purportedly removed him, didn’t have powers to do so.
“Our constitution has a provision to remove officers at the state level. It is only the State Executive Committee that has the powers to remove any officer.
“Yesterday, 15 chairmen of the APC chapters in the local councils and 23 out of the 35 members of the State Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence in the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, while a vote of confidence was passed in me,” he said.
