A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has said that his party will respond accordingly
if the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, decides to turn the September 19
governorship election into violence.
The former governor said the APC would not fold its arms and
watch the governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki and the PDP violently steal the
peoples’ mandate.
Appearing on Arise Television on Monday, Oshiomhole averred:
‘’We will meet violence with violence.’’
Oshiomhole was reacting to the governor’s alleged threat to
deal with APC members and supporters in the guise of dealing with trouble
makers.
Recall that Governor Obaseki had earlier warned of stiff
penalties against perpetrators of violence in the State.
Reacting to Obaseki’s threat, Oshiomhole said: ‘’if they
want violence, we will give them violence.’’
Oshiomhole further explained that, among other things, he
turned against his successor because the governor has not met the expectations
of Edo people and regretted that he worked with Obaseki in 2016 without asking
for his certificate.
Oshiomhole had earlier declared that Obaseki does not pose
any threat to the APC candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu in the forthcoming
governorship election.
Addressing the party faithful on Sunday, Oshiomhole said
that Obaseki is not even eligible to contest for the election.
Oshiomhole said that it was a known fact that Ize-Iyamu, the
APC candidate, finished from law school, adding that his former classmates have
testified to that.
