A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, says the party will suffer “dire consequences” in Edo State for disqualifying Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Mr Obaseki, who was seeking re-election, was disqualified on Friday by the APC screening panel from contesting in the party’s primary scheduled for June 22 ahead of polls in September.

In a statement signed by his media adviser, Ray Morphy, Odigie-Oyegun alleged that Obaseki’s disqualification was to allow the installation of a stooge to enable unhindered access to state funds.
“While not a surprise, that disqualification is a clear indication that internal democracy has been murdered in the progressive party, a party which we founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience!” the statement read.
“I dare say that All Progressive Congress 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.”
