The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has described the
upcoming September 19 governorship election as a special one.
Obaseki said the upcoming election would prove who is in
charge of Edo State.
The governor said this yesterday after his convoy was
attacked at ward 10, Apana, Etsako West Local Government Area of the state.
He alleged that thugs shot at his convoy in a bid to prevent him from campaigning in the area.
Ex-National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Adams Oshiomhole hails from the ward.
However, Obaseki while addressing members of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, and his followers at Apana village square, claimed that
Oshiomhole made several attempts to scuttle his re-election.
He, however, urged people of the state not to allow
Oshiomhole to have his way, stressing that they should use their Permanent
Voters’ Cards, PVCs, against the APC.
A statement by Obaseki’s spokesman, Crusoe Osagie, quoted
the governor as saying: “As we were coming here (Village Square in Apana), you
heard what happened. They went to hire thugs and began to shoot to prevent us
from coming here. On September 19, 2020, use your permanent voter card (PVC) to
‘pepper them.’
“Ward 10 is a special ward, this election is special. It
will show who is in charge of politics in Edo State. For all my eight years in
government, you know what I did for Comrade Oshiomhole. He said it with his
mouth. I supported him to be the governor. I raised funds for him. I worked for
him and Edo State for eight years without receiving a dime.”
