Factional chairman of APC in Edo state, Anselm Ojezua, has
revealed why Oshiomhole was suspended
- Ojezua said the party followed the directive by President
Buhari on the appointment and suspension of members of
NWC of the party
- The factional chairman added that Oshiomhole was
suspended because he was not relevant in his ward
A factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
in Edo state, Anselm Ojezua, has said that the suspension of
the national chairman of the party, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole, was based on President Muhammadu Buhari’s
admonition.
Vanguard reports that he claimed that the president said that
any member who is not relevant in his ward, local government
area and state should not be allowed to hold office at the
national level.
Legit.ng gathered that Ojezua who stated this on Monday,
December 17, while addressing a world press conference at
the party secretariat in Benin, traced the genesis of the crisis
rocking the party to the conduct of primaries ahead of the last
general elections, where Oshiomhole unilaterally and arbitrarily
cancelled the primaries conducted by the leadership of the
party in the state.
He stated that had the Edo APC not complied with the
directive to conduct fresh primaries, the state would have
been exposed to what befell Zamfara and other states.

He further alleged that events had shown that there had been
a grand plan to falsely create the impression of a crisis of
leadership within the party in the state.
Ojezua said the plans were hatched and executed under the
directive of Oshiomhole and executed through his acclaimed
‘infantry division’.
He said the Edo APC had concluded that Oshiomhole lacked
the capacity, temperament and moral authority to lead the
APC as national chairman.
Ojezua insisted that any action taken by Oshiomhole in the
capacity of national chairman, including documents signed
and meetings presided over by him might be futile as his
membership was already compromised.
“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," he added.
