r crisis similar to what is currently ongoing in other states in the country, notably Rivers, Zamfara, Ogun and Imo States.
The meeting was convened by Hon. Charles Idahosa, with Prince Mactor Shaka Momodu and Alhaji Usman Shagari as co-conveners. Party leaders in attendance were drawn from the 18 local government areas of the state, and include Sen. Domingo Obende, Hon. Mathew Iduoriyekemwen, Sen. Ehigie Uzamere, Charles Oronsaye, Hon. Ogiewonyi Bright, Chief Eduwu Ekhator and Prince Malik Afegbua, among others.
They said the members in question intend to “cause disaffection between our National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and our Governor, Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki, where none exists; spread false rumours of a rift between the governor and leaders of the party and insinuate that the governor was responsible for the poor outing of the party in the last Presidential and National Assembly elections.”
“The insinuation that the Governor was responsible for the poor outing of the party in the last Presidential and National Assembly result is, to say the very least, mischievous. This is because it is common knowledge that ethno-religious considerations together with anti-party activities of our own members, that include some of those pointing accusing fingers, were largely responsible,” they added.
Idahosa, in a separate statement, said he called the meeting after he and other top members of the party in the state got a barrage of calls asking for their position on the several rumours making the rounds about an alleged rift between Comrade Oshiomhole and the governor and its consequent toll on the party.He said the reforms and innovations in governance by Governor Obaseki appear to have taken its toll on some of our Party leaders who had benefitted immensely in the past.
