Edo APC Chairman Dares Oshiomhole, Says Obaseki Will Seek Re-Election, Win A Second Term

The chairman of the All Progressives Comgress in Edo State, Anselm Ojezua, has said that despite Governor Godwin Obaseki’s disqualification by the APC, the governor will seek re-election and win a second term.

Mr Ojezua also called for calm over the disqualification of Mr Obaseki from the party’s governorship primary.

He said, ”They didn’t say he will not contest the election but that he will not contest under the platform of the APC.

”By tomorrow, we will meet and be in a position to make a proper statement on what the future holds for the party in Edo State,”

Mr Ojezua’s statement is the closest indication yet that Mr Obaseki will defect to a new party to seek re-election. There have been rumours he would defect to the main opposition party, PDP.
