Obasanjo, Jonathan Should Stay Away From Obaseki, Edo APC – Oshiomhole’s Associates

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The Edo State APC Stakeholders Forum, a group aligned to Comrade Adams Oshiomhole on Sunday accused Governor Godwin Obaseki of recruiting former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan to help him in his battles against the national chairman of the APC.

The group in a statement issued by the convener, Chief Francis Inegbeneki and secretary, Comrade Suleiman Bagudu thus urged the two presidents to stay away from the governor saying that the Edo State chapter of the party had taken a position against the governor.

“We have it on good authority that Obaseki who recently have been informing some of his aides of his alleged decision not to seek a second term in office, met with the former President last week Monday and solicited his assistance in the war he waged against the National Chairman of the APC. 

“We aware he has also recruited formed President Jonathan who was at Government House to appease Obaseki by saying that Edo people are happy. Does Jonathan know what is happiness?

“Apart from recently that Obaseki knew that Edo people have rejected him that he decided to be attending one burial ceremony to the other, birthday parties, does Edo people even know or see their governor?

“Despite the mistake made by our leader Oshiomhole in bringing Obaseki,  we still believe in him and we will fight anyone who tries to undermine his authority in Edo APC. He is the father of the modern-day Edo State, so Obaseki and his recruits must know that.

“Therefore, we want to inform former Presidents Obasanjo, Jonathan and others Obaseki is recruiting to stay away from the politics of the APC in Edo State.

“Obaseki is a complete failure and cannot be marketed any more. If he says he is popular as he claims he should be ready for primaries. Intimidating APC members by destroying their houses, revoking their properties including lands, will not give him APC ticket.”
