APC Leaders Reject Bless Agbebaku's Third-Term Endorsement

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Owan West, Edo State, have publicly rejected the endorsement of Bless Agbebaku for a third term as Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly. The endorsement was described as undemocratic and motivated by narrow interests, particularly by Rev.

Peter Obadan, a former deputy governor. The APC leaders emphasized that the appeal does not reflect the position of the party's leadership in Owan West and disregards the interests of party members and stakeholders.

They criticized Agbebaku's actions during the last gubernatorial election, claiming they contributed to internal tensions within the party and that he has not fully aligned with the party's structure at the ward and local government levels. The statement, issued on Friday and signed by local government party executives, called on stakeholders and the public to disregard Obadan's appeal, asserting that it lacks legitimacy and does not represent the stance of the Owan West APC leadership.
