Edo Election:tenson In Okpella,as Apc, Pdp Supporters Clash by YoungB1a(m): 12:48pm On Sep 09, 2016 |
By Henry Umoru
ABUJA- THERE was pandemonium Thursday
in Okpella, Estako East Local Government
area of Edo State as supporters of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP clashed with
those of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
It was gathered that the incident started
brewing in the early hours of yesterday when
some PDP supporters were alleged to have
threatened to carry out attack on any
Okpellan supporting the ruling APC in
Okpella.
The clash came barely some hours to the
announcement of the postponement of
Saturday, September 10 Edo State
gubernatorial election by the Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The clash is also coming barely three days
after a youth body in Okpella, Okpella Youth
Council, warned in a recent publication of a
possible inversion of the community by thugs
hired by unknown politicians in Okpella.
It was also gathered that the youths were
initially reacting to an alleged gun shot at
the gate of a PDP stalwart in Okpella that
took place at about 3am on Thursday.
According to an eyewitness and a victim of
the attack who spoke on phone, Afebu Musa,
said they summoned a meeting to explain
more details to party supporters who were
curious about the likelihood of the election in
Edo State to hold on Saturday after reports
from the police and DSS that there is a
security threat in the state.
Afebu said, “We were at a meeting when they
were passing during their own campaign and
they stopped shouting who is doing this
here.
“I could hear some of them saying, this will
not happen! How come they are still not
been deflected? ”
“As if the property they destroyed were not
enough, they have chased my pregnant wife
and one of my tenants who they injured from
my house”.
“I sneaked out of my house with the help of
God and I don’t know how to go back home
because the police in Okpella were helpless
today at the scene of the incident”.
“We call on security agencies to help save us
from the hands of these boys. We have been
peaceful all this while and no one has found
us wanting throughout the campaigns but I
am surprise to see this happening.”

This is what happens when the Government becomes lawless If anyone lose their life Oshiomole should be held responsible He is the one who connived with Police and DSSS to move the election date so that they can have enough time to tamper with the election materials from INEC. What Oshiomole is cooking will consume him I thank God that while Ize IYAMU is a peaceful man of God. If you carry guy man go near him side you go know say the man sabi everything too!!!! If Oshiomole wants security to break down he can carry on with his manipulation of the process!!! The duty of any responsible leader is to support a peaceful transition We know Oshiomole can flee to Lara's country and others must learn not to follow that short monkey in his wild third term tenure |
