……urges supporters not to be intimidated but focused to reclaim back the country
By Monday OISE
BENIN CITY- Edo State Labour Party Chairman, Comrade Kelly Ogbaloi has described as primitive and absurd, the alleged video in which the immediate past governor of Edo State was seen allegedly instructing some youths to harass labour party members and its supporters.
Ogbaloi made the remarks yesterday in a press briefing at the Party Secretariat in Benin City, the Edo State capital.
According to him, the said video is in public domain where the former governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole was spotted, allegedly instructing APC thugs and their youth wings to intimidate Labour Party members and its supporters.
He pointed out that it is absurd and primitive, that a supposed distinguished person of Adams Oshiomhole could be seen openly directing a disorder.
“More surprising is that the APC and the PDP in the capacity of their representatives, signed into a peace accord organized by the Edo police Commissioner, where we had a huge embodiment of security agencies. To condescend from this agreement to the very level Adams Oshiomhole spoke is unacceptable.
“We are calling on the security agencies, the Police commissioner to call Oshiomhole for interrogation and we add that if there is any break down of law and order in the state, he should be held responsible”.
He further added that, “It is instructive to note that the All Progressives Congress ( APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have resolved to bully and intimidate Labour Party members and its supporters but our Party can no longer accept the way things are currently going, so we are handing over these two political parties to the law enforcement agencies to place them on their watchlist.
The LP Chairman subsequently added that the Liaison officer at Ovia South West Local government Council appointed by the Edo state governor recently is said to be harassing the members and supporters of labour Party not supporting their own candidates and urged the general public and the authorities concerned to call these political parties and their representatives to order.
“Finally, we advise our supporters to continue to be law abiding in all our campaigns but should not yield to any form of intimidations but be reassured in our collective resolve that taking Nigeria out of this national malaise will soon be achieved”, he said.
However,efforts to reach the former governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for response was not successful, as calls to his phone were not connecting.
