Voting for the acting chairman and others is approved by the Edo APC.

The statement reads in part, "In a meeting of the members of the State working committee held on February 20, 2024, a vote of implicit confidence was passed in the acting state chairman, Jarret Tenebe, the State secretary, Lawrence Okah, and the State Publicity Secretary, Peter Uwadiae, due to the excellent ways they have piloted the affairs of the party, particularly at this auspicious time of our political evolution."The SWC has urged them not to give up in their efforts to ensure that justice, equity, and fair play, which are the hallmarks of our great party, are vigorously upheld at all times, regardless of any undue pressure from any quarter."

"The SWC of our party utilises this means to thank the teeming members of our party for their composure in the face of unwarranted attacks on them. "At the end of the day, the peace that we hitherto enjoy in our party shall be restored, the statement added".

The suspension of Francis Inegbineki, the vice chairman of Edo Central, was reportedly reviewed by Uwadiae. It was decided by the SWC to veto the suspension and restore Chief Francis Inegbeniki to his role as the vice chairman of the APC, Edo Central Senatorial District, after it was directed that he be invited for questioning and perhaps to defend himself the principles of justice.
