According to Chief Inegbeniki, “For the past weeks and months, I have been under tremendous political pressure to contest for the chairmanship of our great party, APC, in Edo state. It is important to state that this political pressure came from critical stakeholders of the party, who are not satisfied with the docile manner, the party is being run as an opposition party in the state.”

From my consultations, I found out that the political feelings and concerns of the vast majority of our party’s stakeholders and members is mutual, which is: Edo APC needs to be rejigged and repositioned, in order to adequately discharge its social-political obligations, to the Edo people, as the leading opposition party in the state.
