Edo APC Factional Chairman Rejects Hope Uzodinma's Committee

The chairman of a faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Mr. Anselm Ojesua, has said he did not recognise the Governor Hope Uzodinma-led Committee appointed to conduct the Monday primary.

Ojezua, who is a loyalist of Governor Godwin Obaseki, said he did not recognise Hon. Hillary  Eta who inaugurated the Uzodinma committee and that  he “had reservations with the entire process because the NWC did not first obtained the approval of the National Executive Committee as required by the Constitution of the party.

“In the light of the above, we have no option but to reject the Hope Uzodinma-led Committee,” he said.


APC leaders in Ward 10 Etsako West Local Government Area, who suspended the party’s national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, said yesterday that they remained in the party.


Addressing journalists after a meeting at the APC Secretariat in Benin City, the Chairman of APC Ward 10, Etsako West LGA, Mr. Oshawo Stephen, said all the executive members in Ward 10 are still members of the party.

He said the executives were inaugurated in 2018 and remain members of the APC.
