Former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun, has reacted to the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki by the party’s governorship primary screening committee.
According to him, the party has murdered what he called internal democracy and is bound to dearly pay for the action.
Odigie-Oyegun, who is an indigene of Ego State, described the outcome of the screening as a hatchet job aimed at installing a stooge that will allow some people unfettered access to the Edo treasury.
In a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Chief Ray Morphy, in Abuja, on Friday, he added, “While not a surprise, that disqualification is a clear indication that internal democracy has been murdered in APC, a party which we founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience!
“I daresay that APC will suffer dire consequences in Edo state if this disqualification is not speedily reversed.
“As a matter of fact, Oshiomhole is indeed the one who is guilty of anti-party (activities), not Obaseki. Oshiomhole is the one who is acting unconstitutionally not Obaseki. I hope that Oshiomhole will not go down in history as the undertaker of APC.”
