A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Elder Sunny Uyigue has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is creating tension, ahead of the election.
He was reacting to an allegation by the Peoples democratic Party (PDP) that their members were harassed and detained by the Edo State government, following the remand of 13 youths in Ovia North East local government area over allegation of attempted murder.
He said the youths should prove that they are law abiding when they get to court.
He alleged that the PDP introduced violence into the electioneering, recalling that it was its trade mark in previous polls.
Uyigue said: โThe campaigns have been going on well. ThePDP is introducing violence which by now we ought to have overgrown in the igerian politics, they are organising thugs, using their members in the House of Representatives.
โLook at what they did to the electricity project in Uhen-Egbeta. They seized the vehicle, saying it should not pass through Okada. They have been charged to court now. People are making noise about it.
โLet the law take its course.The driver was severely beaten. His boy was beaten. Police took all of these to the state. What other evidence do you want to show that you were not violent. As the campaign is going on, the PDP chances are very slim, there is no way they can win this election, no magic.โ
The chieftain said the PDP would not win the election, adding: โNo miracle will happen,. The PDP will never win Ovia North East, which is my local government. They are planning thuggery. But, what have they done there? Even, the road to their village, the contract was awarded. The amount was paid in full and the work was not not done. So, if a man can steal from himself, what else do you expect?โ
Uyigue said the governor has lived up to expectation, adding that the people will vote for the APC candidate.
He added: โSince I joined politics, I am yet to see a governor who has performed like Oshiomhole.โ
