Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is making plans to lure the people of the state in the rural area as well as spring up confusion in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Special Adviser to Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, told news men in Benin City yesterday “We have been receiving calls from supporters of Governor Obaseki in the hinterlands that some members of the APC had been trying to deceive them to vote for the APC in the forthcoming election, by lying to them that Obaseki, who is very popular among them, is still in the APC
“The candidate of the APC, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, and his agents think they can manipulate Edo voters by peddling lies. The APC has since conceded to the overwhelming popularity of Obaseki in the streets of Edo and has resorted to underhand tactics; such as they are doing in these communities.”
He summoned Edo people to vote for the umbrella on the 19th of September since Obaseki had long left the All Progressive Congress.
Meanwhile, the APC Media Campaign Council for the Edo election has accused the opposition party, PDP, of conspiring with a senior employee of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to rig the election.
