Legal luminary, Osa-Ogbegie Dumps APC in Edo
….Says APC lacks capacity to win Edo guber election.
Strong indication has emerged that a chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, and ally of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Daniel A. Noah Osa-Ogbegie Esq., has resigned his membership of the party.
The intelligence News revealed that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had fixed Edo State governorship election for September, 2014, with all the political parties participating in the elections fielded their candidates.

Addressing newsmen in Benin City, the Edo State capital, Daniel Osa-Ogbegie explained that the APC candidate, the running mate and the APC as party cannot give Edo good leadership or win the slated guber election hence he quickly made U-Turn.
The resignation letter sent to the ward 2 chairman, Uhi, in Uhunmwode local government area of Edo State reads;
RESIGNATION OF MY MEMBERSHIP OF APC
I, Daniel A. Naoh Osa-Ogbegie Esq., hereby tender my resignation from the APC today.
I am an Edo centered person who believes strongly in an Edo renaissance driven by Edo people under a sound correct leadership. The candidate of the APC in the forthcoming governorship election does not fill me with confidence as that leader that can lead the Edo renaissance I have always wanted.
With this dour governorship ticket of the APC, it was clear to me that Edo APC was not serious about the election or was not serious about presenting a viable governance to Edo people or both.
As an honourable man, instead of working against the candidate of the party as a member, it was better for me to resign my membership of the party, as I cannot in good conscience campaign for the ticket of Senator Monday Okpebholo and Representative Dennis Idahosa.
My conscience could not allow me and our ancestors would not have forgiven me.
