Obaseki to Oshiomhole: Your Plan to Create Factions in Edo APC Won’t Work

Edo Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said that the antics of National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, to create factions of the party in the state would fail.

While stating that the rulibng party in the state remains united and strong, Obaseki, who tagged himself governor of the development said Oshiomhole no longer has the support of Edo people.

While stating that President Mohammadu Buhari has given him the go-ahead to deal with anybody doing anti-party activities in Edo APC, Obaseki said that those working to destabilise the party would be shown the way out.

“Members of the EPM are trying to frustrate the good plans we have for Edo people as their plan is to burn markets and government buildings. Their intention is to discredit our administration but the people of Edo know better.

“APC is one party; those that say they are in EPM are not APC, including their National Chairman who we have suspended in Edo State. Those mistakenly elected into Edo State House of Assembly (EDHA) who are members of EPM have been thrown out and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is aware and will soon announce the date for a fresh election, where we would have opportunity to elect credible representatives who will represent us in the House.

“Any person doing anti-party activities, President Muhammadu Buhari has asked us to deal with them. We have been told to go back to organise our party; that’s why we are here. As a ruling party in the state, we have done a lot for Edo people, moving the state forward progressively but EPM is afraid of progress and will do anything to ensure we don’t get another term.”

Speaking on the achievement of his administration,  Obaseki said a lot has been achieved in agriculture and his government would soon commence work on Sobe-Sabogida-Ora road.

“Go to Sobe, we have just started harvesting corn. I have told the contractor to start work on the Sobe-Sabogida-Ora road. In that road alone, I want to do 5,000 hectares of cassava farm; I am a governor for development”.

“The support here today is massive and it speaks volume, further showing that the suspended National Chairman’s antics will not work. He no longer has the support of Edo people. The act of trying to create faction of APC in Edo State can’t work; we are still intact, strong and united. Our politics in Edo state is transparent and can’t tolerate any act of dubiousness. If you are a progressive, you must be a real Progressive.”
