- says those who suspended him are miscreants
By Ehi Ekhator
Effort by the Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole to push his preferred candidate, Godwin Obaseki as the next governor of Edo State took a different dimension on Wednesday after a five-man disciplinary committee suspended the State Vice Chairman and Senatorial leader, Barr Gentleman Amegor.
The disciplinary committee headed by Pa Ogbomo, Hon Henry Okhuarobo, Hon Henry Idahagbon, Mr Vincent Uwadiae, Chief Benson Osifo among other APC leaders recommended suspension for Gentleman Amegor for what they described as anti-party activities.
The allegations includes: “failure to convene regular meetings of the district to discuss and resolve issues affecting the development of the party.
“Anti-party activity committed during the last Presidential elections which led to the loss of his unit and consequently his Local Government.”
Contrary to the reasons listed for the suspension, it was gathered that the Vice Chairman was actually suspended due to his loyalty to the deputy governor, Mr. Pius Odubu’s political ambition.
Effort by the state governor to change the mind of Mr. Odubu to obey party decision has proven futile which left him with no choice than to suspend or sack members, including his close aides who are found supporting his deputy.
Speaking with NAIJA CENTER NEWS on the suspension, Barrister Gentleman Amegor said those who took the decision are a group of miscreants, adding that he was only suspended because of his decision to support the deputy governor.
He described the decision as porous and a personal vendetta. He said “They are grunted miscreants, i remain the leader of Edo South.
“They are talking nonsense, I was fully elected. The allegation was just porous, it is a fabricated lie. They were just looking for something. It is on a personal vendetta, just because i am supporting Odubu for governorship. Those who wrote this suspension are supporting Obaseki, that is our problem”
On the speculation that he refused Prado jeep to support Godwin Obaseki, Barr. Amegor said “Well i heard that too but i don’t know where they got that from, they are all measures to fight the insurgents so to speak from maligning my name.”
“I have written a rebuttal and let see how it goes”
I"m still the leader of Edo South - Gentleman Amegor
