Immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has said the party will suffer ‘dire consequences’ for disqualifying Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki from the party’s primary process.

In a statement by his Media Adviser, Ray Morphy on Friday, Odigie-Oyegun said Obaseki’s disqualification was an attempt to grant some people access to Edo state treasury.

He said:  “While not a surprise, that disqualification is a clear indication that internal democracy has been murdered in APC, a party which we founded on the principles of fair play and good conscience!

“I daresay that APC will suffer dire consequences in Edo state if this disqualification is not speedily reversed.

“As a matter of fact, Oshiomhole is indeed the one who is guilty of anti-party (activities), not Obaseki.

“Oshiomhole is the one who is acting unconstitutionally not Obaseki. I hope that Oshiomhole will not go down in history as the undertaker of APC.”
