The Edo State All Progressive Congress (APC) Vice Chairman, Chief Francis Inegbeniki, and seven other party members in Esan Central Local Government Area of Edo State have been expelled from the APC.
The decision was conveyed in a letter dated April 21, 2023, titled “Letter of expulsion of eight APC members in Esan Central Local Government over anti-party activities,” signed by Rawlings Ekeoba, the party Local Government Chairman, and 24 others, and addressed to the state APC chairman, Col. David Imuse (rtd).
According to the letter, the expelled members were accused of holding meetings in a hotel in Eidenu Irrua before March 18, 2023, House of Assembly and House of Representatives elections, where they allegedly resolved to work against the All Progressive Congress in the election.
“While some of them worked for the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, others worked for the Labour Party, LP, just to ensure that the APC Candidates fail in the election,” the letter alleged.
The letter further stated that a meeting of the Esan Central Local Government of APC executive members and some stakeholders in the local government was held on March 20, 2023, to ascertain the reason that led to the party’s failure in the area in the elections.
