Edo APC Chair Slams ADC Anti-Tinubu Coalition

Edo State Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Emperor Jarrett Tenebe has predicted that the newly formed political coalition by those he called anti-President Bola Tinubu political elements the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will fail.

Tenebe based his forcast on the involvement of Chief Tom Ikimi who he referred to as ‘old Chevrolet’ that gulps petrol.

According to a release signed by Tenebe and made available to LEADERSHIP in Benin, “The so-called coalition will fail seeing the likes of Tom Ikimi, the very old Chevrolet that sucks a lot of fuel.

“Prof Oserheimen Osunbor who was trashed by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and Odigie-Oyegun who is completely irrelevant in Edo State politics now.”

It will be recalled that Chief Tom Ikimi once served as the national chairman of National Republican Party (NRC), while Chief John Odigie-Oyegun was elected as the first Governor of Edo State on the ticket of Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Senator Osunbor, a Professor of Law and member of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on the other hand, served as governor for 18 months before he was sacked by the election tribunal on March 20, 2008; and Appeal Court on November 11, 2008.

The candidate of Action Congress (AD), Oshiomhole was sworn in as the validly elected Governor on April 14, 2007.
