Aggrieved APC members pass vote no confidence on Edo SSG

Some aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC ) have passed a vote of no confidence on  Secretary to Edo State Government, Mr. Osarodion Ogie over alleged anti-party activities.

The aggrieved members under the aegis of APC Liberation Movement who made this known on Thursday in Benin at a stakeholders meeting said that those dealing with Mr. Ogie on behalf of Okpoba-Okha local government area are on their own.

The spokesman of the group, Mr Aiyamenkhue Edokpolor cited lack of state government presence in the local government area where the scribe hail from.

Edokpolor who is also the president of Benin National Congress (BNC) declared that the political tension in the state arising from alleged discord between Governor Godwin Obaseki and the APC national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has continued to take a devastating toll on party members.

Edokpolor argued that the ongoing feud between the governor and his predecessor has now made most politicians in the state to sit on the fence due to lack of pragmatic and sincere leadership.

He added: “We have it on good authority that the so-called leader is trying hard to secure the trust of APC National Working Committee in order to be considered for the 2020 gubernatorial ticket having been allegedly deprived of it in 2016.”

Persistent attempts to reach Ogie on his mobile phone proved futile as his line was engaged.
