House Crisis: Edo APC Asks Oshiomhole To Call Brother, Other ‘Renegades’ To Order
By Ayodele Oluwafemi
The chairman of the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC Anslem Ojezua has asked the national chairman of the party Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to call members-elect of the State House of Assembly opposed to the Frank Okiye led leadership to order.
In a statement, the state chairman of the party, Mr. Anselm Ojezua, said the actions of the members-elect are a betrayal of the trust reposed in them by Edo people when they elected an APC-controlled House.
He called on the National Chairman of the Party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who should be aware of the issues, to call the members-elect to order, in the interest of the party in the state.
Among those Ojezua asked Oshiomhole to call to order is the national chairman’s brother Seidu Oshiomhole who is one of the members-elect opposed to the emergence of the Okiye leadership.
He noted, “The behaviour will not be tolerated. We are calling on the National Chairman who must have heard about their ignoble acts, to call them to order. What they have done is condemnable and will be handled with a firm hand. That is what we are going to do.”
According to him, “The behaviour of some of these members-elect is a cause for concern for the leadership of the state chapter of the APC. We are disappointed with their conduct and the way and manner they have carried themselves in the last couple of days. It is unbecoming of worthy representatives of the people.
“We condemn their conduct in its totality and their tantrum betrays party supremacy. This is why we are exploring sanctions against those found wanting in no distant time. In fact, their punishment is in fixed deposit.”
He said the members-elect ought to conduct themselves as honourable gentlemen and act as people with knowledge of the law when they have grievances, noting, “The process leading to the emergence of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Frank Okiye and his Deputy, Hon. Yekini Idiaye, was in line with the constitution. One will expect that people who ran for legislative office should know better to go to the court if they feel otherwise.”
