Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has described the All Progressives Congress, APC, Primary Election Appeal Committee as a gathering of jesters, noting that they cannot uphold the verdict on a matter that was never appealed.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, said the Appeal Committee acted out the script of their paymaster, Adams Oshiomhole.
According to him, the charade of Oshiomhole and his screening committees seems to know no end and their commitment towards the destruction of what is left of the smoldering integrity of the APC under Oshiomhole’s watch appears assured.
Osagie noted that they had gone ahead to announce that the Appeal Committee upheld the dubious disqualification as if the embarrassment which they brought to the party through the unjust disqualification of Governor Obaseki by the Screening Committee was not sufficient.
He queried how an Appeal Committee can claim to uphold an issue that was not appealed.
The Special Adviser said the Governor had been unequivocal in his stance that he was not going to appeal the so-called disqualification by a Committee who congregated to massage the ego of their paymaster.

Osagie expressed the gratitude of Obaseki to members of the APC in Edo State and the Governor’s teeming supporters across party divides and the entire spectrum of the society for their firm solidarity and unwavering support.
He called on them to remain focused on the ultimate objective, which is sustaining the good governance and growth trajectory of Edo State through the leadership of Governor Obaseki, from 2020 to 2024.
