The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has been accused by Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, of using thugs and violence to win elections.
Governor Obaseki in his statement claimed that the former Governor of the state never won elections on the basis of performance.
The Edo State governor stated this in a statement through his spokesperson, Crusoe Osagie, while reacting to the statement earlier credited to Oshiomhole where he stated that he did not teach Obaseki and his deputy, Phillip Shuaibu how to lose elections.
Obaseki charged the APC chairman to work on winning elections through the performance of the party and not employ thugs and violence for electoral victory.
According to him, “Even his allegory of politics being like a forest with dangerous animals is a poor excuse to continue to perpetuate thuggery and the keep the collective patrimony under the control of a few greedy and violent people in the name of winning units and ward elections.”
“Good governance remains the surest path towards winning elections especially when you are committed to free and fair and credible elections devoid of the kind of violence witnessed in recent elections in the country.”
“So instead of trying to pacify the violent and the lawless just because you want to win elections, Oshiomhole should support the stellar performance being displayed by Governor Godwin Obaseki in Edo State, that way, he will not need the services of his thugs to win the next election.”
