The screening committee set up by the All Progressives Congress (APC) has disqualified the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and two others from the June 22 Gubernatorial primary election. Even though the populace expect the governor to naturally react to this disqualification by filing an appeal in court, Governor Godwin Obaseki has come out to say that hs will not be appealing APC’s disqualification.

He 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.

“We had initially asserted that going by the open display and enthronement of illegality by one man in the party that comprises several organs and eminent personalities, there is no way that Governor Godwin Obaseki would get a fair assessment in the run-up to the nomination of candidates to fly the flag of the party in the forthcoming Edo gubernatorial election.

“We have, therefore, decided that it would be efforts in futility to appeal whatever the unjust outcome of the evaluation and screening process of the APC will be, especially when Comrade Oshiomhole has declared that he is the Supreme Court and ultimate determiner of the fate and future of our great party.

“We wish Oshiomhole luck in his maladministration of the party and trust that the Almighty will help our country to find the path to true liberty, freedom and justice.

“We call on all party members and the teeming supporters of Governor Obaseki to remain calm and await further directives.

“Long live Edo State. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
