says APC Chairmen wooing Edo south law makers with cash gift, younger brother, Seid Aliyu, leading plot
The Edo APC Coalition For Progress has said that it has uncovered a plot by the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, to instigate members of the Edo State House of Assembly to commence impeachment process against Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Chairman of the group, Hon. (Dr.) Peter Ologun, said “the evil plot is being spearheaded by the Member-elect, Seid Aliyu Oshiomhole, younger brother to the APC National Chairman.”
Hon. Ologun said: “We have it on good authority that House of Assembly members from Edo South Senatorial District have been targeted to lead the impeachment process. Cash gift, in millions of naira have been promised members of the House of Assembly.
“Comrade Oshiomhole has resorted to impeachment move against the governor after sponsored media attacks against Governor Obaseki, ended up making Obaseki more popular as several groups trooped to the streets of Benin City to express their support for the less than three-year-old government.”
According to the group, “Our sources told us that Oshiomhole’s younger brother, Seid Aliyu Oshiomhole, who was recently elected into the Edo House of Assembly is the one spearheading the evil plot.
“I can authoritatively tell Edo people that huge amount of money is being deployed for this plot and all Edo people should rise against the plot.
He added: “We were told that Oshiomhole’s emissaries were rebuffed by members of the Edo State House of Assembly who were reached to effect the impeachment process, despite the promise of bags of money and juicy contracts in Abuja.
“The Edo APC Coalition for Progress wishes to express our annoyance with Oshiomhole’s high handedness and irrationality.
“We wish to inform the messengers from Iyamho to go back to their master and tell him that we have enough problems already within the APC that he created. Any further complication of the crises on ground will bring the ruling party in the state to its knees.
“For Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, we wish to impress on him that under his watch as the party’s national chairman, more setbacks are being recorded by the APC daily, as the courts are cleaning up the mess he created with his garrulousness, mediocrity and the use of thugs in the conduct of primary elections.”
He explained that “Much of the crises we have now could have been avoided if Oshiomhole applied a great deal of tact, strategy and caution in handling the party’s affairs. The party’s walls are cracking and we pray the roof does not collapse on our heads soon.
“If you read the newspapers, you will find on a daily basis, stories of APC members across the country, calling for Oshiomhole’s sack. It will amount to foolhardiness if after being sacked in Abuja, he has no place to hide his head in Edo State.”
Ologun described as “self-inflicted” and declared that “the crises in our party caused by the national chairman must stop. His advisers should call him to order to retrace his steps and make peace with all the people he has offended.
“Edo APC is his base and we will not be party any further crises, instead, we advise him to listen to the voice of reason.”
Oshiomhole’s last-ditch effort to bring down Governor Obaseki through sponsored impeachment, is coming at a time millions of Edo people, including members of the opposition parties and erstwhile critics of the government, are endorsing him for a second term, on the strength of his achievements in various sectors of the state.
