Deputy Governor’s Assassination Claim False — Edo Govt by Nobody: 6:39am On May 02, 2016
The Edo State Government has faulted the
reported assassination attempt on the Deputy Governor of
Edo State and a gubernatorial aspirant of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Dr Pius Odubu.
In a statement issued on Sunday by the Commissioner for
Information and Orientation! Kassim Afegbua, the
government condemned the incident at Auchi, but noted that
the conclusion of the Odubu Campaign Organisation on
alleged assassination attempt appears hasty.
The government said preliminary reports suggest that the
fracas at Auchi was caused by thugs loyal to the Odubu
campaign imported in two truck-loads to Auchi who attacked
other party loyalists not in support of the Deputy Governor’s
aspiration.
Odubu, on Saturday reportedly escaped death by the
whiskers when gunmen shot at him at the secretariat of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) in Auchi while receiving a
delegation.
The attack took place a few minutes after Governor Adams
Oshiomhole and Odubu left a party organised by Damian
Lawani, representative of the Estako Central Constituency in
the House of Assembly.
Afegbua said ” It is instructive to note that the Deputy
Governor was inside the secretariat building of the APC in the
company of the Party Chairman in the Local Government,
Alhaji Umoru Akokhia, addressing the delegates while thugs
loyal to him who had become unruly fired gunshots at other
APC loyalists who were outside protesting against his visit.”
” We gathered authoritatively that the first shots were, in fact,
fired by Odubu’s security details in an attempt to scare away
the party faithful who were against the hoodlums imported to
their domain by the Odubu Campaign Organisation, before
thugs loyal to him fired at the party’s loyalists.
“It should be noted that among those who sustained injuries
are APC loyalists who are presently receiving medical
attention in the hospital. It is laughable that the Odubu
Campaign Organisation will allege that the Deputy Governor,
with full compliments of security details, was shot at yet no
casualty was recorded on the other side and nobody
apprehended.
” Given the above scenario, we find it lousy for anyone to
impute assassination theory as propounded by the Odubu
Campaign Organisation especially when investigations are
still ongoing and the Police are yet to submit their findings on
the fracas. A responsible campaign organisation should have
waited for investigation reports before jumping into reckless
conclusions.”
The Commissioner said the Governor has already directed
the Commissioner of Police to unravel the immediate and
remote causes of the incident and whoever that is found
culpable will be made to face the full wrath of the law no
matter how highly placed. http://thenationonlineng.net/deputy-governors-assassination-theory-false-edo-govt/

Afegbua is thinking like a cow thinks. They shot first ke? Are they policemen? Are they supposed to carry arms? Oshomole and APC have lost Edo state, if you like bring bombs to the election booths
