Crisis is brewing in Edo State All Progressives Congress, APC, following the suspension of the state Vice Chairman and Senatorial Leader in Edo South, Mr. Gentleman Amego, over alleged anti-party activities.
In a statement by Pa Ogbomo, Henry Okhuarobo, Henry Idahagbon, Mr Vincent Uwadiae, Chief Benson Osifo, among others leaders, the party said its decision was reached at a meeting held Tuesday in Benin.
But reacting, Amegor described the purported suspension as nullity, saying that all the allegations against him were “baseless and without foundation. Those who signed the statement are mainly decampees from another party who enjoy crisis situations.”
The party leaders alleged that Amegor failed woefully in organising the affairs of the party in Edo State, which according to them, led to the party’s failure to win majority of the National Assembly seats in the last election.
The leaders, meanwhile, have set up a five-man disciplinary committee chaired by Rev. Michael Egharevba, to investigate the allegations. Former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Uyi Igbe, will serve as Secretary.
