Executive committee of ward 10 in Etsako west local government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state has lifted a suspension on Adams Oshiomhole as a member of the party.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, secretary of the ward, Emuakemeh Sule, said 17 members out of 26 signed the resolution.
Oshiomhole was suspended by the party in November following his protracted disagreement with Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo state.
It was on this basis a high court in federal capital territory (FCT) ordered Oshiomhole’s suspension as APC national chairman.
