I Pray For Crisis In PDP To Continue So We Can Cash In On It – Edo APC Chair, Tenebe

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it plans on taking advantage of the internal crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State ahead of the September 21 governorship election.

The Edo APC Chairman, Jarret Tenebe confirmed this while speaking with Punch.

Naija News reports that the APC recently suspended ex-deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, and National Vice Chairman, South-South, Dan Orbih, for alleged anti-party activities.

However, Tenebe stated that the APC would seek every avenue to ensure they benefit from the crisis, even if it means wooing the suspended PDP members to their party.

He said, “The thing is that every political party, once an election like this is coming, will want problems in the other party for them to benefit. And if it happens the way things are going (in Edo PDP), I am praying that we will be the ultimate beneficiary of the entire process.

“The truth is that a sensible party will want to hold on to their best hands. These people they are trying to do away with include the South-South Vice Chairman of the PDP (Orbih), an honourable member who has served in the House of Reps for eight years and also a governorship aspirant of the party (Ihama). You can also talk about the deputy governor who they foolishly impeached when a major election was coming.

“So I believe and pray for the matter not to be settled so that we can cash in on it because if we have these calibres of people in our party, then the PDP would not have peace in this governorship election coming up in Edo.”
