The Secretary-General of the Edo State Peace Forum, Alhaji Jimoh Aziz has called on the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomole and Governor Obaseki to sheath their swords.
The Secretary-General described as unhealthy a situation where, within the same Party, there is no peace, questioning the rationale behind the chaos.
The Secretary-General who was briefing Journalists at the Benin Airport wondered what was amiss as both the Obaseki and Oshiomole had worked cordially for several years before now. “Now the State is suffering; there is confusion; and no one is certain about what would happen next”, Alhaji Jimoh announced.
Explaining further, Alhaji Jimoh referred to Lagos State where the APC House of Assembly were also aiming for the throat of former Governor Ambode even in a situation of relative calm.
Alhaji Jimoh expressed regret that upon all these, Party Leaders were keeping mum, and behaving as if it is none of their business. “We have no other country than our own Nigeria. We should did all our best to make sure we don’t derail the boat”, he stressed.
However, despite calls for truce, both camps are unrelenting and increasing the tempo of the warfare. As both parties dig in, estranged members of the Edo State House of Assembly have called on federal authorities to intervene. But Obaseki who wields executive powers has dares the federal might Oshiomole is flaunting against him.
