Outrage In Edo As Obaseki Sends Thugs To Destroy Ize-iyamu's Posters, Billboards by Nobody: 6:41pm On Jul 18, 2020
Thousands of Edo residents have kicked against the destruction of billboards and other campaign posters of the All Progressives Congress(APC) Governorship candidate Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu
The destruction was allegedly carried out by agencies and other miscreants acting on 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......................

Amongst those who carried out the act, was there any child, relative or inlaw of his?

I just pity the idiots who avail themselves to these incorrigible criminals as canon fodder. God forbid I typed RIP when news about their deaths start flowing in. Would rather give the RIP to a dead warehouse mouse.

Foolish youths.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. ...nd nothing good comes from violence. The only state where violence can win election is River State.

Those shouting; Edo is not Lagos shld also remember that, Edo is not River State.

September will speak for itself.

Normal comment made by people who are hungry for cheap likes on Nairaland. Nairaland doesn't give palliative not to talk of paying for likes.
Hope you represented your Landlords well at the Landlords Association Meetings today.

Is this how they will win election? Is this the objective of the media team that was inaugurated last week (propaganda machinery)? The same game they played as EPM members that destroyed APC in Edo State. He's trying to win the same sympathy Obaseki enjoys which came to be because of their parochial interests that led to the formation of EPM. Well, the die is already cast, there's no saving them from defeat come September 19th.
