“Everything is being done to ensure that the internal politics of the party is manipulated to create a situation whereby Oshiomhole is forcefully made a contender for the position of the national chairman at the extraordinary APC national convention," he wrote.

Lukman also claimed that Oshiomhole and some APC leaders "are not preparing to approach the Edo election based on fair contests.

"Not even the request of President Muhammadu Buhari for ‘a transparent process so that the confidence of the people will be strengthened’ is guiding the management of the Edo campaign,” he said.

The PGF DG urged the caretaker committee to encourage internal debate without intimidating members who hold divergent/dissenting views from those held by leaders.
