Edo state APC declares support for Odigie-Oyegun’s, says resignation is not an option
The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has supported the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, amidst purported calls for his resignation by some APC governors, saying the allegation of bribery levelled against him are false.
The State Publicity Secretary, Godwin Erhahon, in Benin on Wednesday, said:
“That publication is a pigment of the imagination of the author. We in Edo have been able to read the statement of the governor and the national chairman and there was no spelt allegation or call for resignation.
“In any case, who can bribe the national chairman and what for? The emergence of the current Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives was something that was not expected; it took everybody by surprise and the governor took his own position.
“Everybody is also aware that President Mohammadu Buhari told everyone to calm down and ensure that the matter was not allowed to break the party. So at what level will bribery come in?”
