…Says APC National Chairman Should Observe Protocols in state
Benin (Precise Post) – Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki has insisted that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was never attacked in the state as being alleged.
The governor also insists that the APC National Chairman and former governor of the sate should observe protocols while visiting Edo.
The governor, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media, Communication and Public Affairs, Crusoe Osagie, said the former governor never inform his office, Commissioner of Police or Director of the Department of State Service (DSS), while on visit to the state.
According to him, if the party chairman should do the needful while visiting the state there would be less acrimony.
The governor maintained that he has no knowledge of the alleged attack on the residence of the APC National Chairman, stating that the report of the State Commissioner of Police, DanMallam Muhammed should be more paramount than any other report.
He called on government functionaries and political office holders to be circumspect in commenting on the allegations of attack against the former governor of the State.
Oshiomhole’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Simon Ebegbulemu and the APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu had on Sunday issued statements alleging attack on the APC national chairman at his residence in Benin city on Saturday.
The duo had accused the officials of the state governor of carrying out the attack against the National Chairman.
However, the Edo State Police Commissioner has come out to debunk the allegations.
