Edo: Obaseki’s Govt Warns LP Candidate Against Irresponsible Behaviour

The Edo State Government has condemned what it has described as the irresponsible behaviour of the Labour Party governorship candidate in Edo State, Olumide Akpata during his visit to the University of Benin, UNIBEN last weekend.

The government in a statement issued by the State Commissioner for Information, Mr Chris Nehikare and made available to GWG.ng while noting the alleged clash between Mr Olumide Akpata and the Students Union Government of UNIBEN on Friday, April 12, 2024, said:

“Claims and counterclaims have been made by Mr. Akpata and the Student Union Government (SUG) of the University in statements issued by both parties on April 13, and active investigation is ongoing on the issue.

“The Edo State Government, however, warns in the strongest terms that it will not tolerate violence or this sort of irresponsible behaviour which was associated with the visit of Mr. Akpata to the institution.

“Government has the primary responsibility to ensure the security of lives and property in the State and will spare no effort to ensure that anyone who breaches the peace, no matter how highly placed, will face the full weight of the law.

“We hereby call on all Edo people to go about their lawful businesses without let as relevant agencies progress with their investigation into the said matter.”
