Imuse noted that the crisis would not lead to parallel primaries between the two factions as many have feared.
It would be recalled that the crises in Edo has taken another dimension as the state government is seeking arrest and prosecution of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. The state wants the national chairman of the APC arrested and prosecuted by the security agencies for disobeying the orders of the state government.
