Comrade Adams Oshiomhole

The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over his role in the crisis rocking the party state chapter.

The decision followed the vote of no confidence passed on Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by the Chairmen of the APC in the 18 Local Government Areas of Edo State.

According to a statement signed by Edo APC Chairman, Anselm Ojezua and Assistant State Secretary, Ikuenode 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 Oshiomhole is the one behind the crisis in Edo APC. We have passed a vote of no confidence in 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."
