The All Progressives Congress (APC) Edo State chapter on Tuesday suspended the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over his role in the crisis rocking the party in the state.
The suspension of Oshiomhole was sequel to vote of no confidence passed on Oshiomhole by the Chairmen of the APC in the 18 Local Government Areas of Edo State.
According to a statement signed by the Edo State Chairman of the party, Anselm Ojezua, and Assistant 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.
The statement added,“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.”
