I won’t appeal outcome of unjust screening — Obaseki

-

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said he will not appeal his disqualification from All Progressives Congress, APC, primaries, an act he described as “Oshiomhole’s rascality.”

However, while reacting to Obaseki’s disqualification, a party official told Vanguard that the screening committee had finished its job and that any aggrieved aspirant should go to the Appeal Committee.

Meanwhile, Governor Obaseki’s position on the disqualification was contained in a statement by Mr. Crusoe Osagie, Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy.

Obaseki said: “We have watched the mockery of democratic process, which Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is administering and superintending over in our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

“It has been an unfortunate, disheartening and dreadful spectacle.”
