APGA Gubernatorial Candidate and His Campaign Team Attacked by The APC Thugs in Edo State.
How much enlightenment has the APC leadership in Edo State bequeathed to her membership especially on the nuisance fronts and cubicles? This is a question that has occupied the minds of the most reasonable supporters of APGA and her very noble and peaceful Governorship candidate in Edo State.
This mental inquisition has preoccupied all good thinking humans as moments ago, APGA governorship campaign trail was senselessly attacked by suspected thugs loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Etsako West LGA. After addressing the good people of the LGA, the respectable supporters and party faithfuls, some unidentified young men wielding dangerous weapons ambushed our team.
I must commend the gallantry of one of the mobile policemen attached to us who resisted efforts made by the thugs to disarm him of his weapon. Unfortunately, he was beaten to pulp as well as some members of our team. We were compelled to scamper to safety, where we sought refuge under a military check point stationed few meters away.
It took spirited efforts from men and officers of the Nigerian Army to rescue some members of our team held hostage for over an hour. We were compelled to halt our scheduled campaigns and tours to other communities to guarantee our safety.
I totally condemn this act in its entirety and call on the State Government, Security Agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to take proactive steps to bring the perpetrators to book to forestall future occurrences.
We make bold to say that elections are never wars. For us who have come to humbly serve the people, it is perceived as an advertisement of desperation to fight, injure or kill in the process of electioneering. We have sincerely come to our people and to present ourselves for service. Whoever the people choose to serve should be allowed to do just so.
To this end, I call on all citizens of Edo State to be watchful of those who have disappointed us in the past. They should also take a good record of those who have come to steal and to destroy. The signs and signposts of them are very obvious and everywhere. Let us therefore come out with one voice and one mind to vote for APGA as ably represented in the Edo State governorship election by my humble self Earl Osaro Onaiwu.
My vow is to serve with the heart and mind of humanity knowing that it is only God that anoints a leader.
God bless Edo State!
God bless Nigerian!!
