EDO APC CRISIS: Chieftain calls on PMB to intervene

Edo APC Crisis: APC Chieftain calls on President Buhari's intervention


A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu from Urohi Kingdom in Esan west local government of Edo state has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the crisis rocking the party in the state as the numbers of fallouts arising from the crisis are enormous and would double greatly if not settled peacefully now and could turn the upcoming Edo guber election 2020 a nightmare for APC in Edo state. He appeals to APC members in Edo state to show understanding and be loyal to the party, as that will make the party stronger.

 Udebhulu said; "...as for me, I appeal to all waring factions to allow peace to reign, so we can approach the Edo guber election as a united force, voice, and party; hence, rally round one acceptable candidate.

Continuing, he said; the popular slogans now that "we will give Ambode treatment to Obaseki" and "my second term bid not negotiable" from same APC family, but of different factions is a serious concern. Udebhulu revealed.

"In a situation when hell freezes in Edo APC as the two camps in Edo APC attack each other publicly without limitations and given the dominance of  secret patronage networks across the state for the 2020 guber election, it is obvious that the internal crisis has degenerated into selfish interests and no longer ideological dichotomies.

"Street wisdom explains this plutocratic internal crisis in Edo APC as 'crisis of the greedy, by the greedy, for the greedy' and sooner than expected, political kingpins, leaders from the two camps would begin to change loyalty from one camp to another according to where the money is". Udebhulu lamented.

Prince Kelly Udebhulu reveals that whoever emerges from APC primaries has a serious fight ahead from the oppositions especially the PDP in the state that is recording all the revealed weaknesses of APC by the feuding camps. The APC candidate's prospects for success at the 2020 guber election depends on his or her ability to build 'destroyed bridges', manage the severe anticipated crisis and opposition's attacks.

"My fellow APC members in Edo state, what we need, is peace. I pray God give us the wisdom that is required to work out the settlement to bring the party back to a strong united family, and one force that will eventually defeat every opposition especially the underdog, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state ” He concluded.

Disregard Forces Of Darkness In Ambrose Alli University

OPINION Disregard Forces Of Darkness In Ambrose Alli University By: Imoudu Peter Since the Selection Panel for the appointment of a new substantive Vice Chancellor began its assignment, our beloved university, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, has witnessed a recrudescence of the evil machinations of these seemingly entrenched forces of darkness.  Social media and a few nondescript media outlets have been awash with their odious, scurrilous, insensate and markedly false publications. Who are these desperados and what exactly do they want? It must be anything but the over all well-being and best interests of our great University.  Masquerading under faceless groups and anonyms, these media rats have been calling out the name of our most illustrious former substantive Vice Chancellor, Professor I.A. Onimawo and spewing absolute gibberish! What has the poor former VC got to do with the Selection Panel’s remit over the appointment of Principal officers for Ambrose Alli University?...
