Edo PDP Condemns Governor Okpebholo's Threats Against Opposition
The Edo State chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a statement condemning Governor Okpebholo for allegedly threatening opposition members, particularly in light of recent accusations against the African Democratic Congress (ADC) regarding cultism. The PDP described the governor's actions as reckless and a form of political intimidation, asserting that no governor should criminalize opposition in a democracy.
The party expressed deep concern over the potential for violence in Benin City following these threats and called for the governor to retract his statements immediately. The PDP reaffirmed its commitment to constitutional governance and urged law enforcement agencies to remain impartial and professional.
The statement highlighted that Edo citizens deserve leadership that inspires confidence rather than fear, emphasizing the need for a political environment free from intimidation.
