APC can’t bend rules in favour of Obaseki – Oshiomhole
TRACKING___Adams Oshiomhole, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the party cannot bend its rules to favour Governor Godwin Obaseki who was recently disqualified from the party’s primary in Edo state.
Oshiomhole who spoke to newsmen after his meeting with Ibrahim Gambari, chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday June 15, said that though he doesn’t know the governor’s next move, however everyone in the APC must abide by the rules governing the party.
He said;
“I don’t know about exit. What we see from your media, electronic and print, is that he visited a number of PDP governors. We read from electronic and print that those consultations may have to do with his plan and so on. But we are not here to speculate.
“Our party is not a party of big men. It is governed by rules. Both the small and the big are subjected to those rules. I’m sure you will agree that our president led by example when we conducted the direct primary in the last presidential election. We still went to Eagle Square for affirmation.
“So, if the president did not have the right of first refusal because our constitution does not provide for it, we cannot under any circumstances now bend the rules when it comes to some people and change the rules when it comes to others.
“Our duty as the management board of APC is to ensure that we strictly obey the provisions of our constitution, which empowers the National Working Committee to conduct primaries for president, governors, national assembly, and state houses of assembly.”
