Just In: APC Not Involved In PDP Primary-Election Crisis, Says Senator Oshiomhole (Text)
Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has clarified that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not involved in the ongoing crisis surrounding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election in Edo State. Oshiomhole emphasized that the law does not permit the APC to interfere in the PDP’s primary election conflict.
A recent ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified the primary elections conducted by the PDP, which had produced Asue Ighodalo as its governorship candidate. The court invalidated the primary election held on February 22, 2024, due to the unlawful exclusion of 378 delegates by the PDP.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Oshiomhole stated: “This is purely PDP intra-party, and I think the lesson is very clear, namely that parties must be encouraged to obey the laws that regulate the conduct of primaries.”
He further noted, “By the law, another party cannot go into intra-party conflicts in court. I think you should dismiss that because this is PDP versus PDP and you know that by the law, another party cannot go into intra-party conflicts in court. So if it is convenient for them to explain that you can dismiss it without asking me.”
Oshiomhole highlighted the ongoing division within the PDP, stating, “The fact that there had been division in Edo before their primaries and after their primaries is an open secret, and the issues in dispute are also very open. The PDP legacy group complained that the man they gave their master bedroom has completely chased them out of the building and now they’re under the rain and as we speak they are still trying to settle.”
His remarks come amidst escalating tensions and legal battles within the PDP over the validity of their primary election process in Edo State.
