Former Governor of Edo state and national Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole has reacted to the disqualification of his successor and current Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki from the gubernatorial primaries of the party scheduled to hold on June 22nd.
Oshiomhole who is at loggerheads with Obaseki is believed to be behind the move as its common knowledge that the former friends are now arch-enemies. Oshiomole has reportedly endorsed Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who was cleared by the APC screening committee on Friday.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the development, Oshiomhole said;
“I can’t comment on it now,”
“We are just following our party constitution. We have a screening committee, they turned out a report. And the report is subject to the appeal committee for anyone who chooses to appeal against the findings of the screening committee.”
“The purpose of the screening is to take nothing for granted. And until they go through the appeal process, I as the National Chairman cannot comment on it,” he disclosed.
