There was confusion bover reprieve granted the ousted national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who had been suspended by his Ward 10, Etsako West local government of Edo State.
The Appeal Court last week upheld the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole based on his earlier suspension by his ward.
But certain chieftains of the party who claimed to be the APC ward executives from his Etsako ward stormed Abuja on Saturday and announced that the suspension has been lifted.
Announcing the reversal of the suspension order, Secretary of the ward, Emuakemeh Sule, said 17 out of the 27 members of the executive took the resolution to lift the suspension.
But Sule and his group’s pronouncement was countered by the chairman of the ward, Mr Oshawo Stephen, who announced that the suspension has not been reversed.
Stephen, who declared in a statement that his executive which was inaugurated in 2018 was still in place, alerted the party faithful that the reprieve allegedly granted Oshiomhole was a charade.
He said: “The suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by the ward executives remains valid. The statement to the contrary in the media is false and should be disregarded. We stand by our decision and have no reservation on the action as it is in the best interest of the party.
