 Impeach Obaseki now before he burns down Nigeria, Edo APC urges Assembly

The Edo chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged the State House of Assembly to immediately commence impeachment proceedings on Governor Godwin Obaseki, for allegedly threatening to burn down the country.

The State chairman of the party, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, said this in a statement in reaction to a video of the Governor speaking on the shooting incident that led to the death on Inspector Akor Onuh, the police orderly of Senator Monday Okpebholo last Thursday.

The is even as he linked incessant deaths occasioned by alleged inter-cult fights to state-sponsored extra judicial killings.

Tenebe described the viral video as a “melodrama wherein the Edo State Governor Mr. Godwin Obaseki gloated like a villain in a video, threatening to burn down Nigeria, if the murderers of Inspectors Akor Onuh at the Benin City Airport are arrested by the Police.”

The Edo APC chairman likened the Governor’s alleged violent threat to Nigeria and Nigerians as a descent into madness that must quickly be tamed to avoid anarchy and breakdown of law and order in Edo and Nigeria.

He said: “The sign of his cognitive impairment has been a source of concern not just for Edo people, but also to the governor himself, so much so because, he readies his thugs – the dangerous Edo State Security Network (ESSN) and Public Work Volunteers (POWOV) to Kill, maim and wound anyone that holds contrary views of his divisive administration.

“The avoidable tragic incident of last Thursday July 18, 2024 is a vivid example of how far the state sponsored extra judicial killings have been going on, but covered by the state government with deceptive reports of inter-cult fights in the state. It was time this madness stops. It is time to stop Mr. Obaseki before he carries out his threat.

“Edo people can no longer watch Governor Obaseki’s incessant violent politics that has heightened insecurity in the state.

“We are therefore calling on the State House of Assembly to immediately condemn Obaseki’s reckless and dangerous threat to burn down Nigeria…We are urging the speaker and members of Edo State House of Assembly to immediately start his impeachment process that has become overdue,” he added.
