Ahead of the Edo State governorship election, some All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders on Tuesday claimed that the action of governor Godwin Obaseki and other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lately showed a panic mood in their camp.
The leaders, in a statement, accused Governor Obaseki , the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP , in the state and its candidate, Asue Ighodalo , of sponsoring campaign of calumny against the governorship candidate of APC , Senator Monday Okpebholo. The leaders, who are members of the APC Vanguard, said the PDP , Obaseki and Ighodalo have suddenly become desperate, over fears that they will suffer a humiliating defeat in the upcoming governorship polls.
Osarobo said: “Godwin Obaseki, the crisis-ridden PDP and their novice candidate, Ighodalo, have decided to resort to cheap blackmail. They know that they will lose the election and they are jittery. “They are scouting for fake news and non-existent things to blackmail Okpebholo and lie to Edo people. 'Unfortunately for them, we know what they are up to. They are smelling the defeat already. Edo people have already decided and no amount of State-sponsored intimidation will work.
