The Edo State Publicity Secretary of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to an allegation by the State Publicity Secretary of APC, Mr. Chris Azebamwan in which he stated: "The Edo Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki is embarking on alleged massive recruitment of thugs and criminals officially into government in the guise of Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants to provide cover and funding in an elaborate plot to unleash violence in the state and rig the outcome of the election."
In a press statement signed by the Edo PDP Publicity Secretary, Chris Osa Nehikhare asked, "when will APC stop making frivolous and unsubstantiated allegations against the PDP and the State Government? Today, it's about the Governor performing his duty of appointing his aides."
The Edo PDP SPS added: "to reconcile APC thinking that Edo State Government is giving out appointments to thugs and cultists to disrupt the elections when Edo people now call and hail the governor as the Thug and Godfather Slayer, is an obvious display of its desperation to try to bully the good people of our State. It is common knowledge that the APC is the party that is populated by known thugs and brigands in the many factions that exist within it.
"Governor Obaseki's fight from the day he took over power was the conscious demobilization of thugs, cultist and their sponsors. This led to the protracted battle of wits that birthed the sacking of their national chairman, fragmentation of the party into small bits and the Governor leaving the prostrate party to the comfort of The Umbrella.
"We understand the frustration involved in trying to put together a scattered broom but that is not an excuse to tell tall tales and fallacies!
"The lady said her husband is bad. She called him all sorts of names to deride him. He left her and married a new wife. She has now gone berserk, filled with rage, jealousy and envy" he stated.
