Factional Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Col. David Imuse, has said that Governor Godwin Obaseki would not enjoy any right of first refusal in the party.
Imuse said Obaseki must subject himself to the party primaries if he wants to get second term in office. Imuse who spoke at a press briefing in Benin City accused Governor Obaseki of shopping for any political party that would accept him for a second term ticket.
He said the Edo APC ticket would go to the person who “is able to persuade members that he deserves their trust and confidence.
” His words, “We will not be harassed, bombed, intimidated or arm-twisted to give our support to any person. ”We wish to sound a note of warning to Governor Obaseki and his co-travelers who are determined to destabilise our party cohesiveness that they will not succeed in their dastardly plans.
“Any person who aspires to contest the forth coming elections to the office of Governor of Edo State should conduct themselves appropriately as outlined in the constitution of APC.
