Political wahala in Edo State

Trouble is brewing in the APC in Edo State. The whole problem started when the party held their ward and local government congress. If you will recall that the ANPP, the CPC & the ACN formed the APC. But before the merger, the ACN had about three major factions with several other lesser factions. The factions where lead by Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Dr. Egberamwen Odobo who is the Deputy Governor and the Governors faction. However, as the faction battle persisted the Odubu faction was forced to work with the Governor's factions. It was at the Congress that the Ize-Iyamu's faction was roundly defeated. Being that it is the ward that determines who goes to the LGA, State and Federal. It is also the foundation of who becomes what in the system Like Governors & Presidents. As at press time, the Ize-Iyamu faction has concluded plans to decamp to the PDP. They have even gone as far as to Aso Rock, the Nigeria Presidential seat to meet with President to formalize modality of their coming into the PDP. Another leader of one of the lesser faction, chief Solomon Iyobosa Edebiri had already decamped into the PDP.
