A new law in the state which is meant to halt the spread of the virus prohibits any gathering of more than 20 people anywhere in Edo.
Mr Obaseki’s spokesperson, Crusoe Osagie said in a statement, earlier on Monday, the state government would enforce “strict compliance” with the law in any political gathering in the state.
But Mr Oshiomhole on Monday said if the Peoples Democratic Party would assembly 5,000 delegates in the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, for their governorship primary, he saw no reason why the APC would be disallowed from having between 100 and 150 people queue to vote in each of the wards during the party governorship primary.
Mr Oshiomhole explained why the APC did not accept the use of indirect primary as canvassed by the Edo governor.
