Some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have said that the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki from participating in the primary election scheduled for June 22 has saved Edo APC from defeat in the coming governorship election.
In a statement issued in Abuja, yesterday, the APC leaders in Edo State said that the decision of the party has saved APC from collapse and defeat in the September governorship election, claiming that there was wide jubilation in the state over the ‘good news’ of Obaseki’s disqualification.
Explaining why Obaseki’s candidature would have been a “major disaster” in the coming election, some chieftains of the party said that there was no way the governor could be trusted with a second term.
They claimed that the Obaseki-led government had made life difficult and almost unbearable for party members and Edo people in the last three and half years.
