Edodecides: APC Raises Alarm Over PDP Planned Protest
The All Progressives Congress in Edo State has raised the alarm over the plan by the Peoples Democratic Party to protest against the results of the just concluded governorship election in the state.
This is coming as the INEC is still reading out the results and had not yet declared the winner.
A statement by the Director, Edo APC Campaign Council, Kazeem Afegbuga had said.
The statement reads in part, “We have just been reliably informed of the plans by agents of the PDP to cause a breach to public order, telling their members to assemble at the Ring Road and the Museum Ground to protest the outcome of the Edo election. While it is their right to protest publicly, they should be made to understand that the law will take its full course in the event that Governor Obaseki decided to burn down Edo State. ”
The APC statement said that it had however cautioned its supporters to be mindful of the painful emotions of defeat which the PDP might be going through now, and be magnanimous in victory, and as such, show some level of empathy with them.
“While we salivate with the oleageanous paeans of praise at the sweet victory of this electoral contest, as Edo people, we share in the aspirations of all, including members of the PDP and other political parties that participated in the election. Senator Monday Okpebholo will be Governor for all without discrimination. He will unite Edo people and create opportunity for all to pursue their legitimate and collective aspirations without let or hindrance.
Stay away from trouble. Stay away from being agents of destruction of our collective destinies. Edo, okpa ma khin,” the statement said.
