Tension Mounts in Edo APC as Oshiomhole, Momoh Allegedly Move Against Tenebe
Source : Guardian News Papers
A growing crisis is unfolding within the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as Senator Adams Oshiomhole and Federal Ministry of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh, are allegedly spearheading efforts to remove the party’s state chairman, Jarret Tenebe.
Sources cited by The Guardian indicate that plans to oust Tenebe have intensified in recent weeks, with loyalists of the duo being strategically positioned to seize control of key party structures ahead of the 2027 elections.
Tenebe’s alleged recent absence from major party events — along with cryptic remarks about a "dangerous clique" working against him — has heightened speculation about internal fractures within the party's leadership.
Analysts suggest that the struggle goes beyond internal party politics, pointing instead to a broader contest over who will shape the political direction of Edo State. In Edo North, this battle pits influential power brokers against each other in a showdown with potential implications for the 2027 governorship race.
As the internal drama unfolds, party members and political watchers alike are keen to see whether loyalty, political maneuvering, or raw influence will ultimately determine who controls the APC machinery in Edo.
