All progressives congress primary: Pressure group backs Governor Obaseki’s disqualification
The All Progressives Congress (APC), political pressure group known as Edo Integrity has commended the House of Representatives caucus in the National Assembly for backing the candidature of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu to emerge as the candidate of the party in the forthcoming Governorship election primaries in Edo State.
Penpushing reports that, the group comprising of youths across all the wards in Edo State stated this in a statement signed by its chairman Comrade Peter Obasogie following emergency general meeting held on Sunday in Benin.
The statement said the resolution of the House of Representatives caucus was truly reflective of the yearnings of the generality of the youths in All Progressives Congress(APC) across all the 192 Wards and 18 Local Government Areas of Edo State.
“The meeting unanimously commended our representatives in the House of Reps for their resolution and urged the APC leadership caucus in the State to follow suit”, the statement added, calling on Edo State residents “to ignore all the opportunistic noises coming from Obaseki’s corner.
The Group declared that the embattled Governor should blame himself for his predicament,stating that’, his penchant for impunity, intimidation, sacking of Local Council Chairmen and other appointees, and his rejection of over ten efforts at peacemaking laid the foundation for his downfall. .”
Penpushing also reports that, the pressure group said Edo state people, “would not easily forget the wickedness meted out to their elected House of Assembly members among other vindictive policies.”
The Edo State All Progressives Congress(APC) House of Representatives caucus, it is recalled, last week published its resolution endorsing Pastor Ize-Iyamu as the party choice aspirant to contest the party’s primary.
“As loyal members of the party, we hereby state our full support for the method the party has chosen as the preferred method for the forthcoming gubernatorial primary in Edo State”, the federal lawmakers declared
