"we condemned the APC government in the state.The state government is required to protect the citizens of the state not to witch hunt, intimidate members of the opposition. it's the beauty of democracy to  have pluralistic political parties in the country instead of trying to eliminate the opposition members.

"We are there for advising the APC government to stop all these brigandage, this will scare away investors from the state , allow opposition to exist."


Expressing disappointment about the attack, Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo strongly condemned the recent attack on members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the incident as an internal party crisis that was taken too far.
