, Salihu Lukman for criticising the All Progressives Congress handling of ongoing Edo election campaigns as weak, defeatist, cowardly and at best treacherous.
The Spokesman of the Senate said: “People who really have nothing useful to contribute to the ongoing campaigns should desist from making remarks that will discourage genuine Democrats who are working for the progress of APC and the Nation.” “The approach advocated by the DG that Oshiomhole should be withdrawn into the background is cowardly, weak and at the best defeatist as well as treacherous,” Basiru said.
“It is disturbing for a progressive to take the position of Lukman berating your own party publicly as ‘beating the drums of war’ and so conceding victory to your opponent before the actual contest. Fielding questions from journalists in Abuja on Sunday, Bamidele insisted the continued onslaughts on members of the Edo Assembly by Obaseki should be condemned and resisted by all lovers of democracy because the legislature is an integral and critical component of democracy anywhere around the world.
