National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams
Oshiomhole, on Friday said the disqualification of current Edo
State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, from party primaries is justified
by the APC constitution.
Mr. Oshiomhole was speaking on Channels Television’s Democracy
Day special program.
Earlier on Friday, Obaseki was disqualified by an APC screening
committee from participating in the party’s primary election for
the forthcoming governorship poll in Edo.
Mr. Obaseki has since rejected the screening committee’s
decision.
In his reaction on Friday Oshiomhole said the decision was
subject to appeal.
“I can’t comment on it now,” Oshiomhole said. “We are just
following our party constitution. We have a screening committee,
they turned out a report. And the report is subject to the appeal
committee for anyone who chooses to appeal against the findings of
the screening committee.
“The purpose of the screening is to take nothing for granted.
And until they go through the appeal process, I as the National
Chairman cannot comment on it.”
