The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Godwin Obaseki, has accused supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of destroying his bill boards and posters.
Obaseki, who spoke through the Director-General of his campaign organization, Osarodion Ogie, said the APC has uncovered plots by the PDP to mobilise thugs to start destroying the posters and bill boards under the guise of protesting local government workers.
Ogie warned that any attempt to destroy the APC campaign posters would be resisted.
He said genuine pensioners were receiving their pensions regularly, while aggrieved local government workers know where to go and what to do.
He added; “Last Saturday, we woke up and found out that our posters and bill boards around Sapele Road and Ikpoba Hill were destroyed by PDP supporters.
“Apart from that we have it on good authority that they have recruited some hoodlums under the guise that they are local government workers who are protesting for their pensions and gratuities.
“The idea is for them to go out and destroy our posters under the guise of protest. This is a workers’ friendly government; this is the only state that raised its minimum wage from N18,000 to N25,000.
“This is not about politics; it is real. So, we are using this opportunity to alert security agents to watch out for these people, because we are ready for a peaceful election. They intend to coerce us into violence, but we will not. Edo will be calm for this election because we have no opposition.
“PDP leaders should be warned; they must stop destroying our posters for the interest of peace. They should know that nobody has monopoly of violence, but we will continue to remain calm because victory is sure.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
