The APC in Edo state has reacted to the series of defections and resignations by some of its leaders and members to the PDP and assured “the good people of Edo State that the exit of this retrogressive group is a blessing to the party”.
Comrade Godwin Erhahon, the state publicity secretary of the party while reacting to the defection of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and about 5000 members of the party to PDP said, ” the cabal that has constituted cancerous tumor in the body of All Progressives Congress, APC…yielded to our fervent prayers as they melted out of our body, painlessly”.
He said, “The group which changed its name from Grace Group to Alaghodaro after they rebelled against Chief Anenih in PDP since 2005 is returning to PDP retrogressively to swallow their vomit because APC could no longer tolerate their desperation”.
Erhahon added that the exit of the group from APC which is spending state funds to develop the state and it’s defection to PDP where they shared state funds without development from 1999-2008, will enable Comrade Governor Adams Oshiomhole to further develop Edo State.
“Whereas it was the Ize-Iyamu group that wanted the Comrade Governor to manipulate APC congresses for him, they now claim that it was the governor that manipulated”, he alleged.
He challenged the defectors to prove their strength by going to a party without structure rather than going to PDP where food is ready.
He said, “We salute the courage of Governor Oshiomhole in resisting the desperate attempt by the group to manipulate him, and we sympathize with Chief Tony Omoaghe, an established factional leader who condescended so low as to return to his estranged master. May God rescue him from the lion’s den into which hunger has chased him”.
