APC ward in Edo lifts suspension on Adams Oshiomhole.
The Executives of the All Progressives Congress of Ward 10 in Etsako Local Government Area of Edo State have lifted the suspension placed on the former National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.
Hilliard Eta, the National Vice Chairman of the ruling party, (South South) announced this at a briefing in Abuja, on Saturday, June 20, 2020.
It would be recalled that in November 2019, Oshiomhole was suspended following his protracted disagreement with Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
It was on this basis that a High Court in Abuja ordered his suspension as the National Chairman of the ruling party.
Hilliard said, “Let me say that 17 out of 26 members have signed this resolution. Let me also say that in matters of this nature, our constitution provides for only a simple majority and 17 out of 26 is indeed more than a simple majority.

“I am also in receipt of the acceptance and ratification of that resolution by the Etsako West LGA executive dated the 9th of June 2020 and signed by the Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Akokia and the Secretary, Hon. Dauda Ahmed.
“I am also in receipt of further ratification by the state executive committee of the APC in Edo state signed by Col. David Imuse (retd), the acting state Chairman and Lawrence O. Oka, state Secretary.”
Also speaking on the resolution of the suspension, at the briefing, Emuakemeh Sule, secretary of the ward said, the committee did not find any merit in the allegations that led to Oshiomhole’s suspension.
He said, “We the undersigned, being the executive committee of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 10 Etsako West L.G.A, Edo state having met today 4/6/2020 to affirm the following positions.
“That we have reviewed the circumstances leading to the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and found no merit in the allegation or processes employed.
