| Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress. |
Indications emerged Tuesday evening that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has been suspended by the party in Edo State.
A source who broke the news to Issuesplus disclosed that a vote of no confidence was passed on him by the State Executive Committee of the party.
Also affected is the state Secretary of the party, Lawrence Okah. It will be recalled that Okah, had earlier been suspended by the party until his eventual removal earlier Tuesday.
The decision to suspend the APC national chairman followed the vote of no confidence passed on him by the Chairmen of the APC in the 18 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Edo State.
According to a statement signed by Edo APC Chairman, Anselm Ojezua and Assistant State Secretary, Ikuenobe Anthony, “Consequent on the development, the State Executive Committee has adopted the vote of no confidence passed on him and the subsisting suspension order from the organs of the party in the state.”
They said the decision was necessary to prevent a repeat of what happened in Zamfara State, where the party was unable to field any candidate in elections.
“Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is the one behind the crisis in Edo APC. We have passed a vote of no confidence on him and he stands suspended from the party.
“We don't want what happened in Zamfara State or other parts of the country to happen in Edo State.”
