By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City.
The Edo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday insisted that the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole remains suspended and lacks the legitimacy to act in any capacity in the party, saying his membership is already compromised.
Addressing Journalists at the APC state secretariat in Benin City , Edo state chairman of the APC, Anslem Ojezua said the suspension of the National Chairman stands.
Ojezua who noted that Obaseki enjoys the goodwill and prayers from the people, many who aren’t politicans, said such goodwill will guarantee the party under the leadership of Godwin Obaseki success in the forthcoming Edo election.
“In the light of the foregoing, we have come to the conclusion that Comrade Adams Oshiomhole lacks the capacity, temperament and moral authority to lead this party as National Chairman. In any case, having been placed on suspension as member of the party, he has lost the legitimacy to act in any capacity in the party.
“We draw particular attention to Article 21 of the Constitution of the party which relates to discipline of party members and the powers of respective organs of the party to take disciplinary actions against members. In the circumstances, any action taken in the capacity of National Chairman including documents he signs and meetings he presides over may well be futile as his membership is already compromised.”Ojezua said.
Ojezua urged the APC National Chairman to do the honourable thing by tendering his resignation or be precluded from functioning in office while his suspension subsist.
