Oshiomhole’s, Obaseki’s Supporters Trade Blame On Edo Violence

Associates of Godwin Obaseki and Adams Oshiomhole in the All Progressives Congress, APC were on Monday locked in a war of words over responsibility for the heightened tension in the state and the poor run of the ruling political party.

While those aligned to Obaseki accused Oshiomhole of sparking the violence and tension in Edo and other states where the APC is now under pressure or lost control, the Oshiomhole inclined faction in Edo State accused the governor of intolerance and staging a reign of terror against some party members.

A chieftain of the APC from Edo South Senatorial District, Charles Idahosa said:

“We are very concerned about the actions and utterances of Comrade Oshiomhole in recent weeks. We had raised the alarm that he characteristically undermines public order with his actions in Edo State and reported him to relevant authorities to take action. We are more concerned now that his actions have taken a national dimension as his utterances have led to attacks on the residence of a justice of Supreme Court in Abuja and Rivers State and also civil unrest in Bayelsa as was seen the past few weeks.”

Another Chieftain of the party, Mr. Oteghe Adams, said:

 “Over time, the state government has continuously insisted that Comrade Oshiomhole not only breaches protocol but also instigates violence. This was made manifest on national television and we saw what it resulted to in Bayelsa and other states.”

A chieftain of the party in Edo North Senatorial District, Makor Shaka Momodu, said Comrade Oshiomhole’s penchant for violence is now a threat to the entire country, adding that failure to call him to order will spell dire repercussion for the country.

Jeffery Obasanmi, another leader of the party in Edo State, said it was quite unfortunate for Comrade Oshiomhole to continue to disregard protocol and directives just to massage his ego, noting that relevant authorities ought to take drastic actions to rein him in.

“We are indeed concerned about the developments in Abuja, Bayelsa and Rives States. It is unbecoming for a national chairman of the party to instigate people to act in manners that undermine public safety,” he added.
