Mr John Odigie-Oyegun, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki is part of the plan to install a stooge that will allow some people unrestricted access to Edo state’s treasury.

Oyegun who expressed fear of the Obaseki’s disqualification coming with severe consequences, stated that the development shows that ”internal democracy has been murdered in the APC which is a party that was founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience.”

The APC Chairman maintained that Oshiomole is the one who is acting unconstitutionally not Obaseki, and also added that he hopes the former Edo state governor will not be remembered as one of the those who destroyed the APC. 

Oyegun said; 

“As a matter of fact, Oshiomole is indeed the one who is guilty of anti-party, not Obaseki.”
