Why APC Is Plotting Obaseki’s Impeachment – Wike

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Campaign Council for Edo State Governorship Chaired by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has condemned the illegal invasion of Edo State House of Assembly by political thugs of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a press statement signed by Paulinus Nsirim, Commissioner for Information and Communications quoted Wike while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt as saying that the APC having realized it cannot win the poll has decided on the impeachment strategy.

While noting the recent moves to impeach the leadership of the Edo State House of Assembly, Wike said:

“It is now clear to all discerning minds that what is playing out in Edo State is an orchestrated script by the sinking opposition APC to intimidate the PDP and illegally impeach its candidate, Governor Godwin Obaseki, having seen clearly that they cannot win the September 19, 2020 election without any miracle.

“We, therefore, call on President Muhammadu Buhari and the International Community to prevail on the APC to stop the needless violence, play the game by the rules and allow the people of Edo State to freely elect their Governor”, he stated.

Governor Wike said PDP had raised the alarm that the APC is not ready for a free and fair contest and would use violence with the backing of federal might to rig and claim unmerited victory.

He warned that ours is a fragile democracy and the warlike approach of the APC to the Edo election poses a very serious threat to the survival of democracy in Nigeria.

According to him, Nigerians should, therefore, hold the APC and its candidate responsible if there is a breakdown of law and order in Edo State.

Governor Wike added that the PDP would resist every attempt to unlawfully remove Governor Obaseki from office or rig the September 19, 2020 Governorship Election
