Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has declared that “the
other party” was provoking him.
He made the veil reference about the All Progressives
Congress (APC) on Thursday in Benin after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
stakeholders’ meeting.
The Edo helmsman condemned the attacks on PDP supporters in
front of Oba of Benin palace.
Obaseki said his administration would ensure that the
perpetrators faced the law.
The governor warned that his administration was not weak in
responding to political violence.
Obaseki noted that being a governor, he would not misuse
state powers.
“I believe my powers should be used responsibly,
particularly in the face of provocation, and especially what the other party
did in the palace by attacking our supporters in an attempt to provoke me,” he
said.
On the governorship race, Obaseki declared: “If we have an
election today in the state, PDP will win by 75 per cent. PDP has always won
every national election in Edo.”
The APC had alleged that Obaseki and Rivers Governor, Nyesom
Wike, were behind the palace incident.
APC stated that the destruction of property was a glimpse
into the do or die plot the PDP planned to unleash.
