THE All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, charged the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as well as Governors Godwin Obaseki
of Edo and Nyesom Wike of Rivers to purge themselves of their age-long undemocratic habits of election rigging, vote-buying and violence.
“Ahead of the Edo State governorship election, the PDP candidate, Governor Obaseki continually spins puerile conspiracies on the role of federal might, while using his so-called Obaseki Boys and state apparatus under his control to harass the state House of Assembly and APC members in the state. On his part, Governor Wike as head of the PDP Campaign Council threatens violence.
“It is left for the APC, security agencies and the INEC, to win the confidence of Nigerians, particularly the good people of Edo State by committing to transparent and credible elections,” Odeyemi said.Meanwhile, the Eramah Anwian of Anwain kingdom, HRM Oare while reassuring Obaseki of their support, said: “Mr. Governor, we are assuring you that you are at home. This community road has been a disaster for over a thousand years until your intervention.
He urged them to pursue investigations into acts of electoral violence in the country to uncover the sponsors and instigators as some political actors, after causing mayhem, often resort to media blackmail to blame the violence on others.
