Pending the visit of the Chief Bisi Akande-led National Reconciliation Committee of the All Progressives Congress , the combatants in the crisis rocking the Edo State chapter of the party are sticking to their guns.
It is expected that Obaseki would face a tough hurdle to secure the ticket of the party and in the main election. Some members of the APC in the state have remained unsupportive of the Obaseki-led government. According to Idahagbon, Obaseki doesn’t need to struggle for a second term ticket if he had members of the party on his side. “We fought for him in 2016 because of Oshiomhole. Now, we can’t fight for him, because he does not need us anymore from his political posturing.”Idahagbon, however, called for truce, saying reconciliation was possible only if the governor was truly ready for fence mending.
However, the protesters claimed that Oshiomhole had been running the affairs of the party in breach of the party’s constitution, adding that his impunity has caused the party a major loss in Zamfara, Bayelsa and Rivers states.But Idahagbon said Oshiomhole should be commended for repositioning the party with the array of personalities that have joined the APC from other political parties including the PDP.
“What we have heard them say is that Oshiomhole will not give Obaseki nomination form and that Oshiomhole will bring APC people from Abuja to come and conduct the primaries. And that Oshiomhole is the one that will submit names of APC candidate. That’s all they say. Nobody has ever said we have the capacity to defeat Governor Obaseki.
