No be small wahala dey happen for Edo State APC o! Dem don waka come out come accuse their former chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, say e dey owe dem over ₦150 million! This one na serious drama wey dey unfold for political scene.
Na Jarrett Tenebe, wey be the current chairman of Edo APC, na im sign the statement wey drop this bomb. Dem talk say na loans and membership fees wey Oyegun no pay during him tenure as chairman dey cause all this wahala. Dem say him don dey dodge dem for long, and na why dem don decide to carry the matter go public.
As e be, Tenebe no just stop there. E go on dey talk say Oyegun na ‘National Leader’ for another party wey dem call African Democratic Congress (ADC) now, and as such, e gatz clear am say him no fit run from him financial responsibilities. Na serious gbege wey go fit shake ground for upcoming elections.
But make we hear wetin Oyegun self yan about this matter. As e catch am for phone, him just dey laugh and dey call the whole thing baseless. Him say dem dey panic wey fit scatter their ground because of ADC wey don dey rise as strong contender. ‘People go just laugh this matter,’ he talk.

Oyegun don chop well as chairman before, so e dey vex say APC don turn political discourse into insult and threats instead of engaging constructively. E dey mash dem for ground wey dem drag Edo into disrepute by using violence and intimidation.
