Edo 2020: Groups lead ‘peace walk’ in Edo, call for end to Godfatherism

“Those in positions of authority must ensure that the interests of the people are considered.”

The groups further expressed worry over rising political tension, noting their displeasure on the outcome of the All Progressives Congress Governorship Screening Committee, which disqualified the incumbent governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.

Speaking on behalf of the coalition, Batholomew Okoudo, frowned at the political crisis and fisticuffs among the ruling party’s stakeholders, calling for peace and unity in Edo State. Okoudo, who condemned the party’s decision for a direct primary and called for an end to godfatherism, said the life of Edo people is more important than the selfish ambition of any politician.

He added: “Those in positions of authority must ensure that the interests of the people are considered. Those in charge of the primary should be peaceful rather than hijacking the situation and process, putting the lives of all Edo people in danger.”
