The Chairman, PDP National Campaign Council on Edo Governorship Election, Governor Nyesom Wike, condemns, in the strongest terms, the attack on PDP entourage, including state governors, at the Palace of Oba of Benin on Saturday by thugs sponsored by the All Progressives Congress(APC).
Governor Wike, who described the attack as despicable, said the Campaign has commenced investigation into the roles played by certain individuals, including a businessman in the dastard and
desecratingact.
Kola Ologbondiyan Secretary, PDP National Campaign Council for Edo Governorship Election said the campaign is also looking into the roles played by one Kabaka in the attack against our entourage
Furthermore, the candidate of the APC, Osagie Ize-lyamu, also needs to understand clearly that there is a limit to intimidation and thuggery, particularly in this election.
Itis highly irresponsible for anybady to attempt to harass, intimidate or cause harm to an assemblage of governors and leaders of the PDP, let alone at the palace of the highly revered Oba of Benin.
We are already investigating this attemptand if we confirm the involvement of the said businessman, the APC gubernatorial candidate or the said Kabaka, we will nat hesitate to take a strong and very decisive action. Enough isEnough!
The ancient seat of the Oba of Benin is respected and revered across the globe. As a mark of honor for the Oba of Benin, the governors and leaders of our party considered it imperative to pay a visit and
honor themonarch.
It is therefore reprehensible that any true Bini sonor daughter will choose such an occasion to demean the monarch and hischiefs,While we leave this to the decision of the Oba and his council, we want to place on record that no motley group of political vagabonds will be allowed to embarrass us in this campaign.
We counsel the said businessman, the APC gubernatorial candidate and the said Kabaka to desist from further plans to cause mayhem as those who sowa wind should be ready to reap the
whirlwind.
