A former Commissioner for Information and Orientation in Edo State, Charles Idahosa, has issued a stern warning to his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
        Idahosa said the ruling party risks extinction in the state if Governor Godwin Obaseki is forced to leave following the ongoing faceoff between him and his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. Idahosa reiterated his call for the resignation of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the APC. He pointed out that peace will be restored in the Edo Assembly if the 15 lawmakers-elect comply with the party’s directive on zoning of leadership in the Assembly. Idahosa spoke with newsmen in Benin City, the Edo State capital on Monday. He declared that himself and many other leaders of the party would join Obaseki to other political parties if the need arises. Reacting to the claims that the Governor was ungrateful to Oshiomhole for bringing him to power, Idahosa explained that it was Obaseki that first helped Oshiomhole raised millions of naira to enable him contest elections in 2007. He said, “Oshiomhole should resign and stop embarrassing Edo people and the rest of Nigerians. For a National Chairman of a party to lose five states is an insult to our sensibility. Obaseki won all the 24 seats in the Assembly but Oshiomhole media aides gave the credit to Oshiomhole. They are harassing Obaseki so that progress in the state can stop. Nobody has told us what Obaseki has done. Those lawmakers are now in Abuja engaging themselves in financial bargaining as exposed by Seid Oshiomhole confession on social media. Let them come home and destabilise Edo. If by error or commission Obaseki is pushed out, then APC is dead in Edo.
