The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned Edo State
Governor, Godwin Obaseki, to stop spinning “puerile conspiracies of federal
might” ahead of the governorship election.
The poll has been scheduled to hold on September 19.
APC, in a statement on Tuesday by Yekini Nabena, its
spokesman, declared that the governor was using ‘Obaseki Boys’ to foment
violence in Edo.
Nabena said the group and state apparatus have been harassing members of the House of Assembly and the APC.
The party accused Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, the
head of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council of threatening
violence.
APC said it understands the panic in the camp of the PDP and
Obaseki due to “widespread support by the Edo electorate to the APC
governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.”
Nabena told the PDP, “to join us in issue-based campaigns
and at least attempt to sell to the Edo electorate the merit of their
candidate, if any.”
He advised that they, “purge themselves of their age-long
undemocratic habits of election rigging, vote buying, violence, abuse of state
institutions for political ends.”
