Thousands of market women and residents of Edo State have condemned destruction of billboards and other campaign posters of the All Progressives Congress(APC) Governorship candidate Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu by agencies and other alleged miscreants carrying out instruction of Godwin Obaseki-led Government.

For days now, visibly mobilised men have torn down dozens of campaign billboards and other promotional materials of the APC and its candidate at various strategic points in the capital city of Benin such as Uselu Shell, Central New Benin, and the popular Iyaro axis.



In reaction, the resident, including Mr. Nelson Kelvin, Austine Evbodaghe and Timothy Ogodo condemned the ‘autocratic’ action allegedly carried out by the Edo State Government.

They decried Obaseki’s attempt to violate rights guaranteed in a democratically elected government while also noting Ize-Iyamu of the APC is a moving train who cannot be stopped or frustrated by blackmail or intimidation.

Other residents, including Isa Alatan, Aghaze Onyemuwa and several women traders demanded that Obaseki urgently replace the removed and damaged billboards.

They noted how the billboards, beyond bearing messages of hope for a better Edo State, helped to illuminate the environment at night following the state government’s failure to provide street lamps as promised.

A staff of the outdoor advertising company in charge of billboard management in the axis, who pleaded anonymity to avoid retributive actions, had earlier disclosed they have been under heavy threats from officials of the Edo State Government after installation of the billboards

According to him, the statement government resorted to the action after they refused to bow to threats to pull down the messages of the APC because they meet all financial, advertising standards and requirements.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.

Obaseki seems to be unpopular

Hmm

This one tire me

Hahahahhajaja.Nations newspapers again.Bullon van rogue will not leave Edo ppl alone.How did he know it was Obaseki who sent them

The governor has started showing his political jealous of his greatest enemy. When you are not threatened of any positive or political popularity of your opponents, you behave as though they aren't equal to your level. But the governor behaved otherwise. Mr governor Sir, are you sure you would be elected to return to Edo State Government House come September?

Political Hunters

How did they know it was Obaseki who is responsible for the destruction? While this should be condemned and discouraged, I hope the Nation newspaper reported the destruction of opposition campaign billboards and all in Lagos during the last guber elections too?

Politics of hatred... It won't take us to anywhere good.

Small time now, blind supporters will be telling us that they are supporting obaseki just to end godfatherism in Edo politics

He won't hence this.even the labor party candidate is focusing on pastor instead of obaseki which means obaseki is no threat

Obaseki forces.but what is wrong in admitting your party's fault?

Akala did same to Ajimobi and even asked TV and Radio stations to reject his campaign but Ajimobi won in the end.
All these is nothing but stupidity!
They will soon arrive with "Edo is not Lagos" and "Ambode is a coward" comments to gain cheap likes on Nairaland that nobody will pay them for. Then then they will go and represent their Landlords at the Landlords Association Meetings.

Lets see how it plays out at last,hopefully the best candidate will emerge,if you are in need of ileya ram and reside within lagos contact me,we sell @a pocket friendly price
