Edo State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has passed a vote of no confidence on the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and consequently suspended him from the party.
The party leadership in Edo is disturbed by the role allegedly being played by Oshiomhole in the crisis rocking state.
The Chairmen of the APC in the 18 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Edo State passed the no-confidence vote.
According to a statement signed by Edo APC Chairman, Anselm Ojezua and Assistant State Secretary, Ikuenobe Anthony, “Consequent on the development, the State Executive Committee has adopted the vote of no confidence passed on him and the subsisting suspension order from the organs of the party in the state.”
They said the decision was necessary to prevent a repeat of what happened in Zamfara State, where the party was unable to field any candidate in elections.
“Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is the one behind the crisis in Edo APC. We have passed a vote of no confidence on him and he stands suspended from the party.
“We don’t want what happened in Zamfara State or other parts of the country to happen in Edo State.”
