The National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has formally adopted the Appeal Committee’s report endorsing Godwin Obaseki as the party’s flag-bearer for the September governorship election in Edo State.

Disclosing this yesterday, the National Secretary of the APC, Mai Mala Buni, stated that the NEC led by the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun unanimously adopted the report of the three-member Appeal Committee.

The Committee had on Wednesday June 29, 2016 submitted its report to the APC National Chairman at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja following petitions received by two aspirants, Barr Kenneth Imansuagbon and Engr Chris Ogiemwonyi.

Buni noted that the Appeal Committee in its report submitted that the Edo primaries were valid, adding that while not dismissing the seriousness of the allegations and claims of the petitioners, the issues raised were not compelling as to warrant the cancellation of the primary election.

He further urged all APC stakeholders in Edo State to put the party’s interest over and above personal interests in ensuring a speedy and amicable reconciliation.

The recommendation of the Appeal Committee reads; “The leadership of the party should step up diplomacy in trying to reconcile stakeholders in Edo State. We also urged the National Chairman of the party, His Excellency, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to consolidate on his involvement in reaching out to all aggrieved parties.

“We equally recommend that a high-powered committee be set up by the party to reach out and mediate between the Edo State Governor, His Excellency, Adams Oshiomhole and all aspirants who participated in the primary election.”
