Expel Obaseki now, Edo APC LG chairmen tell NWC

The 18 local government chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state have called on the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to expel the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, from the party.

They made the call in a statement jointly signed by the chairman of the body and Etsako west chairman, Ibrahim Akokia, as well as his Etsako central and Owan west counterparts, Suleiman Bagudu and Lugard Alukpe respectively.

This comes as the crisis rocking the state chapter of the party deepens, following the suspension of the APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, by the party’s leadership in Edo state.
