Tension Mounts in Edo APC Over Alleged Imposition Plot by Oshiomhole

Palpable Tension Grips Edo APC Amid Alleged Endorsement and Imposition of Preferred Governorship Aspirant by Senator Adams Oshiomhole

It was gathered that what started as a rumour few weeks ago has gained traction across the state.

It was reported that the Senator allegedly held a meeting with two of his former Commissioners, Mr. Kassim Afegbua and Mr. Mika Amanokha in the company of Mr. Dennis Idahosa, where he reportedly urged both former Commissioners to spread the message to the chairmen across the 18 local government areas

One of the local chairmen in Edo North who asked not to be named, confirmed that he has been instructed to call a meeting of leaders to pass the message that President Bola Tinubu and his Vice Chairman, Kashim Shettima as well as the national chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje, have all endorsed Idahosa for the ticket.

However, other aspirants, like Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Charles Airhiavbere, Mr Lucky Imasuen, Blessing Agbonmere, Mr. David Imuse, have all vowed to resist imposition of any aspirant on the the party.

If the present situation advances into a full blown crisis, the APC will be heading into the 21 September gubernatorial election a divided house just like its counterpart in the state.
