Adams Oshiomhole, Senator for Edo North, has distanced the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the turmoil surrounding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election in the state.
According to Oshiomhole, the law prohibits the APC from interfering in the PDP’s primary election battle.
The Abuja Federal High Court overturned the PDP’s primary elections, which produced Asue Ighodalo as their governorship candidate in Edo State.
The court overturned the primary election held on February 22, 2024, since the PDP unjustly excluded 378 delegates.
However, addressing to journalists in Abuja yesterday, Oshiomhole stated: “This is strictly PDP intra-party, and I believe the lesson is very clear, namely that parties must be encouraged to follow the regulations that govern the conduct of primaries. “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.
“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.”
