President Tinubu approves removal of APC Chairman
In a decisive move aimed at restoring order and strengthening the All Progressives Congress (APC) structure in Edo State, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly approved the removal of the Edo State APC Chairman, Col. David Imuse (rtd).
The decision, according to sources close to the Presidency, follows months of internal wrangling and leadership disputes that have threatened the unity of the party ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
Tinubu, known for his firm stance on party discipline and internal cohesion, was said to have given his nod for a leadership overhaul after several reconciliation efforts failed to yield results.
Party insiders revealed that the President’s intervention became necessary to reposition the Edo APC for victory and to ensure all warring factions are brought under a united structure.
The development has already generated mixed reactions among party members. While some hailed the move as long overdue and necessary for the party’s stability, others have expressed concern over the manner and timing of the chairman’s removal, especially with critical elections approaching.
A new caretaker leadership is expected to be announced soon to steer the affairs of the party pending the conduct of fresh congresses.
Observers say the move underscores President Tinubu’s renewed commitment to ensuring discipline, accountability, and loyalty within the APC at all levels a strategy many believe is key to consolidating his political base ahead of 2027.
