The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), its governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, and Governor Godwin Obaseki of suffering from horrific hallucinations.
The Director of Publicity, Edo APC Governorship Campaign Council, Orobosa Omo-Ojo, stated this while speaking to newsmen.
Omo-Ojo, a former commissioner in the state during Adams Oshiomhole’s tenure as governor, was responding to allegations by the Edo government that the party was planning to rig the upcoming September 21 election.
He argued that the call by PDP and Obaseki for external help could be compared to a man setting his house on fire and asking his neighbours to help him.
According to him, “In the past two weeks, Governor Godwin Obaseki, the PDP and Ighodalo have been exhibiting dangerous symptoms of hallucination, which has led to perceptions of having seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled things that are hunting them.
“The call by PDP and Obaseki for external help is akin to that of a misfit man who mischievously set his own house on fire and asking neighbours to save him from the inferno.
“The only thing that comes readily to mind is the ghost of late Inspector Onuh Akor who the Edo State Security Network murdered in cold blood on the order of the Edo State Government.
“In addition, the ghost of an imminent defeat on September 21 has become a horrible, nightmarish feeling for Obaseki and Asue, his godson. The reality of their inability to use the notorious ESSN to disrupt the scheduled election is responsible for their phantom make believe stories.
“Few days ago, Obaseki and Ighodalo confirmed the fear of Edo people when they refused to sign the peace accord organised by the Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar-led National Peace Committee. By their action, the disgruntled PDP and its candidate showed to the world that the party intends to shoot its way to victory.
“Sadly for them, Edo people are ready to resist them, not minding the threats of ‘Nigeria will burn’ if the Independent National Electoral Commission refuses to write results for Ighodalo.
“Going by the prevailing scenario, Nigerians can tell who the merchants of violence are. For us in the All Progressives Congress, our cardinal goal is to sack the PDP from Edo State through the ballot and set our people free from the vise-grips of buccaneer capitalists that have ruined the state and mortgaged the future of Edo people.”
