Edo PDP Slams APC Factions, Readies Voters For APExit!

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Edo State, Thursday rebuked the contending factions in the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC for promoting their discord into a state affair.

The PDP while noting the disunity and the contradictions within the state chapter of the APC said it agreed with the claim of the four governorship aspirants that Governor Godwin Obaseki had failed. The PDP, however, said the failure was not personal, but a function of the party saying that the APC must be shown the exit.

State secretary of the PDP, Chris Nehikare in a statement made available to GWG said:

“Earlier today, a group of professional governorship aspirants held a press conference in the NUJ conference center in Benin City. In a feeble attempt to sound as statesmen, they made and classified their party issues as Edo State’s problem. 

I condemn in all its ramifications the loose use of “restore peace and unity among Edo people once again”. Edo people are united against your arrogance and impunity. We are living in peace with ourselves. It’s your lot in APC that are disunited and living in chaos! 

There is no apprehension in the land. The apprehension is in your party as Edo people have decided to reject any and all the three factions that exist within your party. The apprehension you feel is the imminent sack of your party! 

We are glad you acknowledge that Edo State and its people remain “one of the most politically sophisticated, enlightened and pragmatic in the federation.” What beats my imagination is the audacity with which you think these people will still vote for you after your crass display of political arrogance, vindictiveness, wickedness and treachery. We can say that APC and its leadership are guilty of The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices. Your Behavior and habits have directly given birth to immoralities such as pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth.

Truth be told, how can you still seek votes from a people your internal quibbling has traumatized. You have left 14 constituencies unrepresented in the State House of Assembly and your government has deliberately abandoned projects that will benefit the people. How will you justify seeking for votes? You have by your admission said Governor Obaseki and APC have failed. Edo people agree, APC and Governor Obaseki have failed abysmally! 

We know that your party lacks democratic tenets and realize that the desperation being exhibited by all of you including the governor to grab your ticket at all cost is because you believe you can win Edo State whether you are voted for or not. You believe that INEC, Police and even Soldiers will be deployed and instructed to deliver the APC candidate at any cost. Edo people will surprise you! 

We know that even as we have been clamoring for the electoral bill to be signed into law, you have been urging Mr President to stall till after Edo elections. Edo people will surprise you! 

Edo people will reject you and no matter how sanctimonious you want to sound or look, Edo people know that you are the problem. 

We will get APExit Done!  

Signed
