‘Call Edo State Govt To Order Before Anarchy Occurs’ – PDP To Tinubu

The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the crisis plaguing the state.

The party appealed to Tinubu to call on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to prevent anarchy following the alleged outright disregard for the rule of law.

The state caretaker committee chairman of the party, Anthony Aziegbemi, appealed at a press conference in Benin City on Saturday following the impeachment of the Oredo Local Government Chairman, Tom Obaseki, on Friday.

Aziegbemi claimed that the impeachment was carried out by 12 imposters who masqueraded as councillors and invaded the council’s secretariat in Benin City.

He subsequently asked Tinubu to address what he described as a blatant disregard for the rule of law.

Describing the impeachments by the APC-led government as a “coup d’état,” Aziegbemi stated that the development is worrisome.

“We call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene because the development is becoming worrisome. It is a coup by the APC-led government in Edo State against democracy.

“The Edo State government must be called to order to avoid a state of anarchy following the outright disregard for the rule of law.

“The latest impeachment was at the Oredo Local Government, where 12 imposters posing as councillors invaded the council and claimed to have impeached the council chairman, Tom Obaseki,” he alleged.
