…Says never send any of its members

By Simeon OSAJIE

The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has received with rude shock the video making the rounds that it’s members were involved in the mayhem at Ogbe quarters in Benin City, Edo State capital as a result of the desperation of some persons to take over the parks as members of APC.

In a statement signed by State Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Peter Uwadiae-Igbinigie and made available to newsmen, noted without equivocation that APC is not aware of such concorted desperation neither did it mandated any of it’s members to do anything that is contrary to the established norms, that is, an incoming administration or government can not get involved in governance no matter how remotely connected, until the batton is exchanged, in this case until the 12th of November, 2024.

According to the statement, “As a matter of deliberate emphasis, neither the APC nor the Governor-elect, Distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo instructed any person or group of persons to undermined this cast in stone norms.

“Let it be noted that this bogus allegations remain the handiworks of mischief makers who are bent on tarnishing the revered image of our party and that of the Distinguished Governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo.

“Against the backdrop of the above stated facts, the party call on the police to discreetly and thoroughly investigate these allegations which have no iota of truth and bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to book because APC detaste crimes and criminalities within the state and among it’s fold.”
