It is emerging that Monday night’s meeting between the new Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole and the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, did not help Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State reverse his disqualification from the party’s governorship primary.
Gambari had met with them at State House, Abuja, to discuss the controversy and uproar that greeted Governor Obaseki’s disqualification by the screening panel, the appeal panel and the NWC.
Oshiomhole, who briefed State House Correspondents after the meeting, said the decision to disqualify the governor, who is seeking reelection, is irrevocable.
