Oshiomhole’s Suspension from APC Stands – Gov Obaseki

Matilda Omonaiye/

Goveenor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, remains suspended from the state chapter of the party.

Speaking at a meeting with some leaders of the party in Benin today, Obaseki said the APC national chairman was suspended from the state chapter of the party because he was “creating problems in his own house.”

He said Oshiomhole would only be re-accepted into the party when he is “remorseful and apologetic”, adding that Oshiomhole “has done something bad against God and the people of Edo state”.

“Can you imagine a national chairman that is creating problems in his own house? Because of that, we had to suspend him and he remains suspended.”

“We pray that God should have mercy on him because he has done something bad against God and the people of Edo State.

“He should find his way back into the party and apologize to all of us,” Obaseki said.

In November, the APC faction loyal to Obaseki suspended Oshiomhole after passing a no-confidence vote on him.
