Obaseki will be re-elected as governor – Edo APC chairman

In reaction to the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Edo, Anselm Ojezua, has said that he will eventually retain his seat as the leader of the state.
Speaking on Friday, June 12, Ojezua explained that Obaseki’s disqualification by the screening committee does not mean that the governor will not contest in the governorship election at all, adding that it only denotes that he will not be doing so on the platform of the ruling party, Daily Trust reports.
The Edo APC boss 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.”
