Ologbondiyan noted that the duo attempted to grab the state legislature and truncate democratic order. PDP asserted that the resistance, in solidarity with Obaseki, was a loud message to the APC and Ize-Iyamu that the people of Edo State will never surrender to political godfathers and their cronies. “Today’s spontaneous resistance is also a signal of their readiness to collectively confront and dismantle all APC evil rigging schemes in the September 19 election.”PDP called the development “a further pointer” to Oshiomhole and Ize-Iyamu that the people cannot be cowed in their readiness to unleash violence and derail the election.
The party added that the masses proved that Edo belongs to them “and not political destitutes who believe that they can use compromised security operatives to foist an unwanted leadership over the state.”
