Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said he will not appeal the outcome of the screening exercise which disqualified him as a participant in the primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the governorship poll in the state.
This was contained in a communique by his spokesman, Crusoe Osagie, after the governor was disqualified alongside Hon. Matthew Iduoroyekemwen and Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi on Friday.
Obaseki said the disqualification was a mockery of democratic process, which “Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, is administering and superintending” in the party.
Governor Obaseki further described the development as the open display and enthronement of illegality by one man, adding that there is no way he would get a fair assessment in the run-up to the nomination of candidates.
“We have therefore decided that it would be an effort in futility to appeal whatever the unjust outcome of the evaluation and screening process of the APC will be, especially when Comrade Oshiomhole has declared that he is the Supreme Court and ultimate determiner of the fate and future of our great party.
“We wish Oshiomhole well in his maladministration of the party and trust that the Almighty will help our country to find the path to true liberty, freedom, and justice,” Obaseki stated.
He therefore urged party members and his supporters to maintain peace and await further directives.
