Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party have condemned Thursday’s police invasion of the Edo state House of Assembly.
The governors, in a statement issued on Friday under the aegis of the PDP Governors Forum, also condemned the swearing-in of some members-elect and the subsequent election of new presiding officers in a private residence without the legitimate Assembly officials as required by law. “Why are the perpetrators of this illegal and unlawful activity afraid of facing the electorate in a free and fair election?. Why are they afraid of the giant strides and impressive performance of His Excellency, Governor Godwin Obaseki?”, the Forum queried.The governors warned that any attempt to effect an unconstitutional take over of either legislative or executive power in Edo State will lead to unpleasant consequences far beyond the shores of Edo State.
“We call on the people of Edo State to remain vigilant but peaceful in resisting any attempt to desecrate democracy and constitutionalism in Edo State by the APC and their supporters.
