Oshiomhole explains ward congress’ cancellation
BY SIMON EBEGBULEM & GABRIEL ENOGHLOASE
BENIN— GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, yesterday, gave reasons why the ward congresses of All Progressives Congress, APC, held in Edo South senatorial district last Tuesday were cancelled by the leadership of the party.
The governor, who briefed newsmen on the issue, said the absence of officials assigned to conduct the exercise in the various wards and logistics led to the cancellation.
It will be recalled that loyalists of the former South-South Vice Chairman of the party, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, had called for the cancellation of the exercise on Wednesday after they described the exercise as a sham.
Oshiomhole, who reacted after a meeting with the leadership of the party, said: “There was no doubt that there were no result sheets. Officials did not go there. The election was conducted by volunteers not by the people who were sent there.
“From all we have said there is no way that a party that prides itself as a party committed to change, one that celebrates progressive values can accept those results.”
