APC chairmanship: Oba of Benin reacts to Oshiomhole’s emergence

The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has reacted to the emergence of
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC.

Oshiomhole emerged the national chairman of the APC at the last
Saturday National Convention of the party in Abuja, after other
contestants in the race, including former governor of the state, Prof.
Osarhiemien Osunbor withdrew from the race.

The Oba in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Desmond Agbama
said, "I received the good news with great joy and it is a victory
well deserved, especially when viewed against the background of his
successes and achievements as the National President of Nigeria Labour
Congress, NLC and former governor of Edo State.

"The Benin monarch pray that God and ancestors grant Oshiomhole
wisdom, knowledge and good health to steer the leadership of APC
well."
