Okah knocks Obaseki over Oshiomhole’s suspension

Secretary of the Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Lawrence Okah, says the State Governor Godwin Obaseki is an embarrassment and misfit, who lacks the powers to suspend the National Chairman of APC Adams Oshiomhole from the party in the state.

In a statement, released following the alleged suspension of Oshiomhole, Okah described  Obaseki as an “embarrassment and a political misfit” and urged party members to ignore him.‎”

It is very clear and obvious that the governor’s second term ambition has affected his sense of reasoning. We don’t really blame his ignorance because he developed diarrhea of the mouth after our national chairman made him governor on a platter of gold.

“A man that has never voted before in Edo State until last year. A man that lost his unit, ward, Local Government and senatorial district in the Presidential election has now turned a super star due to the fact that he controls the resources of the state.

” Does he even know what campaign is? The whole world was even asking us whether he was deaf and dumb when Oshiomhole was marketing him in 2016 because he cannot even speak for himself. So it is funny when he said he now owns the Edo APC.

“We dare him to go get his own INEC to conduct election in the state House of Assembly for the 14 members. He will soon realize that the people of Edo State regretted the day they gave him their mandate.

“The fact remains that Obaseki is now going round the state recruiting people that will move with him to the PDP. Just two days ago, he held a meeting with top PDP leaders in Edo State with a view to perfecting plans for his defection. But we will tell him that none of our members will join him to enter PDP. Even his Deputy,  Philip Shaibu will not follow him to PDP.

“If he is a man like he claims, he should have met face to face with the National Chairman of our great party,  to discuss any matter bothering him rather than abusing Oshiomhole in his backward.

“He is an embarrassment to our party and the country and we are sorry to the great men and women of this party for the daily embarrassment the governor is exhibiting.  We are indeed very sorry. I want to urge our people to disregard his careless statements and remain focus. Edo State APC under our indisputable leader, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, remains remains solid”.
