Campaign tactics unsettling Obaseki, Oshiomhole’s camps
Aug 5, 2020
Following the commencement of electioneering campaigns in Edo State ahead of the September 19 governorship election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have continued to fight dirty over who takes over Government House on Osadebey Avenue, Benin City. The fierce campaign between PDP and APC candidates and supporters has many worrying about the likelihood of violence that may characterise the forthcoming election next month.
The division among party loyalists and supporters of the two leading political parties has not only caused rancour and betrayal of trust among politicians and supporters, it has left many defecting from one party to the other Most members dumping PDP for APC blame it on the incumbent governor’s leadership style, describing him as being too rigid, while others are dumping the latter for PDP because of what they term Oshiomhole’s past sins.
In his address to the seven out of the 12 councilors, who dumped PDP in Oredo Local Government Area for APC, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu said their open endorsement represented a clear indication that the All Progressives Congress maintains full political control of Oredo Local Government Area.
In his words, “Out of the 12 councilors elected to represent the people of Oredo LGA, we have seven here with us, including that of the governor’s ward. It is a clear indication to all that Oredo is APC and we will record a comprehensive victory there at the polls.”
