The Edo APC Diaspora Media Group has formally written to His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to express grave concerns over the administration of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State under the leadership of the State Chairman, Mr. Jarret Tenebe.
The letter, signed by the group’s General Coordinator, Hon. Taju Omoruyi, Dr. Alasa Braimah, and other executives, was also addressed to the APC National Working Committee, NWC, the National Executive Council, NEC, the Board of Trustees, and the Edo State leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In the petition, the group stated that the manner in which Mr. Jarret Tenebe is running the affairs of the party in Edo State is unacceptable and poses a significant threat to party unity and electoral success.
Founded in 2013, the Edo APC Diaspora Media Group comprises approximately 1,800 committed members residing across various countries worldwide.
“We wish to draw Mr. President’s attention to a long-standing, ticking time bomb which, if not immediately addressed, will severely undermine the electoral fortunes of our party in Edo State,” the letter stated.
The group specifically referenced a public declaration made by the Edo State APC Chairman on April 18, 2026, in which Mr. Tenebe stated that “the party would not give tickets to serial losers.” The group contends that the statement was directed at Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, whom they described as an elder statesman, a founding leader of the APC in Edo State, a former Director General of a victorious campaign, a former gubernatorial flag bearer, and a frontline aspirant for the Edo South Senatorial ticket.
Describing the remark as reckless and highly disrespectful, the group noted that it reflects a disturbing and consistent pattern of unguided public statements by the State Chairman against respected party leaders.
“A true leader must exhibit restraint, inclusiveness, and the ability to unify members. Regrettably, these qualities have been consistently absent in the conduct of Mr. Jarret Tenebe,” the group said.
The Edo APC Diaspora Media Group is therefore appealing to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene, asserting that Mr. Tenebe has demonstrated a lack of leadership and the capacity to unify members. The group further warned that his actions continue to undermine the image and credibility of the party at both state and national levels.
