As the twist and turns that has unsettled the All Progressives Congress, APC in Edo State is yet to abate, some leaders of the party have reversed the suspension on member-elect of Edo State House of Assembly, representing Uhunmwode Constituency, Mr. Washington Osifo.
A faction of APC leaders in Uhunmwode Local Government Area had last week announced the suspension the member-elect, Mr Washington Osifo, citing alleged breach of article 21 (A) of the party’s Constitution.
A former Minority Whip House of the Representatives, Hon. Samson Osagie made the position of the party known on Sunday after an emergency meeting of leaders in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of the State.
Osifo was among the 13 APC members-elect who are yet to be inaugurated by the 7th Assembly.
Hon. Osagie called on the party State Executive and National Working Committee to call the people behind the purported suspension to order after describing their activities as inimical to the unity of the APC in locality.
He alleged that the purported suspension was orchestrated by some individuals who lack proper procedure of suspending party member.
According to him, “some few members including the council chairman purportedly suspended the Hon member elect, attaching the signatures of some people who attended one meeting, so for us.
“We want to reject it and he can not be suspended. How can you suspend somebody who has not be inaugurated. Whatever method they applied is against the constitution of the party”.
“He is not suspended and we are rejecting any attempt from corner to do so”.
Another member of the party, Bright Egharevba Bright, said he is urgently calling on security agencies to arrest those who masterminded illegal suspension of the member elect which he said is null and void.
