Group Begs Buhari To Intervene On Edo APC Crisis

By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City

A social political group, The Reformed Oghomwan Mandate have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the lingering crisis rocking Edo State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) by calling the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole to order.

The group in a “save our soul” letter to the president dated 14th November 2019 said the call became necessary in order “to preserve the fragile peace in Edo and save the polity from degenerating into a foreseeable collapse.

The letter was endorsed by George Osagie Osaghae Esq, Director of the group’s strategy and titled: “Taming an emerging Terror in Adams Oshiomhole”.

Osaghae who also called for the sacking of APC chairman accused the police headquarters in Abuja of been a willing tool.

According to him, “we don’t know who is next in the deadly list of people to be kidnapped or whisked to Abuja IGP office”.

Continuing, Osaghae said ex-national chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie Oyegun did not cause crisis in the state during his tenure when Oshiomhole was governor of the State.

He said: “Governor Godwin Obaseki provided the backbone at the State level for Adams Oshiomhole to emerge as National chairman of APC,

“Ironically, since his (Oshiomhole) emergence as National Chairman, Edo State has become the Igbo metaphoric import of NGIGE, the bird that climbed a shaking rope, neither the bird nor the rope will have peace.

“The crisis that Adams Oshiomhole shamelessly caused in Edo State led to a fatality of national opprobrium and save for the grace of God and Edo ancestors, either the Oba of Lagos or Governor Godwin Obaseki would have been brutally assaulted in his private residence at Iyamho”.
