Ahead of the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, the All
Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party, had continued
their allegation and counter-allegation about campaign violence in the state.
A statement by the APC Campaign Council’s Media Director, Kassim Afegbua,
condemned two recent attacks on the party’s campaign team, accusing the
PDP of being behind the attacks but twisting the narratives to appear as the
victims.
He said, the rate at which propaganda has swallowed the PDP in Edo State in
the campaign season is quite alarming, while, some hackers, spinners,
hirelings and cloners were in town, in order to twist narratives to suit their
bulbous ego, to confuse Edo voters.
But reacting to the allegation, the Chairman of the Akoko Edo LGA where one
of the attacks occurred, Tajudeen Alade, said, it is laughable to make such
allegation against the deputy governor considering the number of security
men, armed police, as well as armed soldiers, and DSS that are following
them in their campaigns.
