Edo APC crisis worsens as Oshiomhole’s NWC suspends chairman





There seems to be no solution in sight for the imbroglio the ruling All Progressives Congress has intricately woven for itself in Edo state, as National Chairman of the Party seized an organ that he controls to suspend the state chairman, Anslem Ojezua.
Simultaneously, the National Working Committee announced the establishment of a reconciliation committee, in a crisis, in which Oshiomhole himself is a party and has been suspended by the local chapter.
This maybe why the APC Governors forum has asked Oshiomhole to call a meeting of National Executive  Committee of the party, which last met in 2018. The forum further asked Oshiomhole to resign if he cannot play the role of a leader.

In a statement that questioned Oshiomhole’s penchant of driving the party into one crisis after the other, the APC governors wondered: “Why should the NWC under Comrade Oshiomhole continue to imagine that it can conduct affairs of the party without mandatory meetings of party organs?
“What legacy is Comrade Oshiomhole hoping to achieve as a National Chairman, by running the party in a way that suggests almost zero commitment to issues of party development?
“In the current circumstance, nothing short of a NEC or National Caucus meeting of the party can resolve all our increasing organisational challenges as a party.
“It is either Comrade Oshiomhole respect the provision of party constitution and convene superior organ meeting to deliberate on all our challenges, or he should just accept his inability to manage the party and simply resign.
The governors statement was issued by Salihu Moh. Lukman, the DG of their forum, who out of concern for party unity had sent an SOS earlier to the leadership of the party to call Oshiomhole to order.
