The crisis within the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has escalated, as the party’s State Working Committee announced the suspension of plans to lift the suspension on former APC National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole and loyalists of Minister Abubakar Momoh. The decision was made amidst ongoing factional conflicts and leadership struggles within the party.
Sources reveal that Oshiomhole’s supporters remain barred from participating in party activities due to a court-ordered suspension that was upheld in recent judicial rulings. The recent court rulings also confirmed Oshiomhole’s suspension from official party activities, further complicating efforts to reconcile the factions.
The controversy was also linked to the ongoing purge by the party’s leadership aimed at consolidating control ahead of the 2027 elections. Oshiomhole’s supporters have called this a move to sideline his influence in Edo politics, while the party claims that due process must be followed before any reinstatement.
The internal discord reflects broader factional struggles across Nigeria’s political landscape, threatening to undermine APC’s stability in Edo State as the 2027 preview heats up.
