Gists9ja recalls that the party alleges that armed thugs and non-state actors, reportedly acting on the governor’s orders, carried out coordinated assaults resulting in injuries, destruction of property, and a climate of fear.
The accusation was made in a statement issued on Thursday, January 2, 2025, by the state PDP Chairman, Anthony Aziegbemi, who condemned the attacks on Orhionmwon, Uhunmwonde, and Esan West council headquarters.
Claims of Violence and Intimidation
According to Aziegbemi, the attacks were aimed at forcefully taking control of the council offices, leaving several workers and residents injured, including some with gunshot wounds. The statement described the incidents as a blatant disregard for court rulings and a gross abuse of power.
“It is profoundly concerning and disheartening that Governor Okpebholo has opted for a strategy of violence and intimidation to achieve his self-serving objectives, disregarding the rulings of all courts in the nation,” Aziegbemi stated.
He alleged that the governor’s actions defy a Supreme Court ruling, directives from the State Chief Judge, and a High Court injunction that prohibited interference in council operations.
Call for Federal Intervention
The PDP Chairman appealed to President Bola Tinubu, the Inspector General of Police, and other relevant authorities to intervene and restore order in Edo State.
“We are also aware of the plan to attack five LGAs across the state on Friday, January 3, 2025, and blame the attack on the PDP. This is executive rascality and abuse of power taken too far.
“It bears repeating that these unlawful actions are desperate attempts at exterminating our constitutional democracy. We hereby call on the President, the Attorney General, the judiciary, the National Security Adviser, and all relevant security authorities to urgently intervene and restore order before events spiral out of control,” the statement read.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY!
