Governor Godwin Obaseki is not sponsoring any protest in Benin over the outcome of the recent presidential and National Assembly elections his spokesman, Mr Crusoe Osagie said on Thursday said on Wednesday, flaying the All Progressives Congress, APC for spreading the rumours.

In a statement, Osagie said the Governor Obaseki as Chief Security Officer of Edo State is committed to the security and safety of his people and does not engage in actions that are self-destructive.

He noted, “The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State have again returned to their usual trade of deliberately concocting lies.

“We urge the good people of Edo State to disregard their recent statement which raised a false alarm that the Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, is sponsoring a protest.

“We are sure that Edo APC members are capable of such irrational behaviour, but Governor Obaseki as Chief Security Officer of Edo State is committed to the security and safety of his people and does not engage in actions that are self-destructive.”

The governor’s aide queried, “How can Obaseki who will suffer the greatest liability of a protest in his state sponsor same?”

Osagie further noted, “Only irrational and illogical sadists like the leadership of Edo APC in Edo State are capable of such behaviour.

“We call on Edo people and all Nigerians to totally disregard this allegation and go about their lawful activities without fear.

“By the grace of God, never again will the lions and tigers of the APC be let loose on our land and our people,” he said in urging the populace to disregard claims of a planned protest by Governor Obaseki over the elections that saw the PDP trounced in all senatorial districts.
