The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo State has affirmed the suspension of the Edo State House of Assembly member-elect, Hon. Washington Osifo.
The Chairman, Johnson Omoruyi, affirmed the suspension during an interview yesterday.
According to him, Osifo’s suspension followed his refusal to heed warnings that he should follow the path of honour and present himself for inauguration as a member of the House of Assembly.
He said: “He should know why we voted him into power. He should tell us if he has issues bothering him so the party can resolve them and ensure a seamless relationship between the governor and the local government.”
The Publicity Secretary, Daniel Ogbewe, said while the suspension lasts, the door is open for Osifo to have a rethink and he could be accepted back into the party.
Osifo is among the 13 members-elect of the House of Assembly yet to be inaugurated.
