Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has made it clear that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not involved in the crisis surrounding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election in Edo State.
Oshiomhole stated that the law prevents the APC from intervening in PDP’s primary election issues. The Abuja Federal High Court recently nullified the PDP primary elections that selected Asue Ighodalo as its governorship candidate, citing the unlawful exclusion of 378 delegates.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Oshiomhole said, “This is purely PDP intra-party, and I think the lesson is very clear, namely that parties must be encouraged to obey the laws that regulate the conduct of primaries. By the law, another party cannot go into intra-party conflicts in court.”

He emphasized, “I think you should dismiss that because this is PDP versus PDP and you know that by the law, another party cannot go into intra-party conflicts in court. So if it is convenient for them to explain that you can dismiss it without asking me.”
Highlighting ongoing issues within the PDP, he added, “The fact that there had been division in Edo before their primaries and after their primaries is an open secret, and the issues in dispute are also very open. The PDP legacy group complained that the man they gave their master bedroom has completely chased them out of the building and now they’re under the rain and as we speak they are still trying to settle.”
