Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has said that he will not
appeal his disqualification from participating in the governorship
primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated for June 22.
The
governor in a statement by his media aide, Crusoe Osagie, said it is
needless filing an appeal when the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole
has carefully orchestrated the move from the beginning.
While calling on his supporters to be calm, he urged them to wait for further directives.
“We
have watched the mockery of democratic process, which Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole, is administering and superintending over in our great party
the All Progressives Congress (APC). It has been an unfortunate,
disheartening and dreadful spectacle.
“We had initially asserted
that going by the open display and enthronement of illegality by one man
in the party that comprises several organs and eminent personalities,
there is no way that Governor Godwin Obaseki would get a fair assessment
in the run-up to the nomination of candidates to fly the flag of the
party in the forthcoming Edo gubernatorial election.
“It is
unfortunate that this open show of shame, illegality and travesty of
justice is the brand of democracy which Comrade Oshiomhole has reduced
the APC into. The situation is quite saddening because this is a party
supposedly reputed for change, equity and social justice”
We have
therefore decided that it would be effort in futility to appeal whatever
the unjust outcome of the evaluation and screening process of the APC
will be, especially when Comrade Oshiomhole has declared that he is the
Supreme Court and ultimate determiner of the fate and future of our
great party.
We wish Oshiomhole luck in his maladministration of the
party and trust that the Almighty will help our country to find the path
to true liberty, freedom and justice.
We call on all party members and the teeming supporters of Governor Obaseki to remain calm and await further directives.
