He said, “We have alerted the Police and security agencies on this illegal act printing PVCs by the APC, but nothing has been done about it. Nobody has been arrested. We are using this medium to alert Nigerians and the entire world of what is happening in the state”.
This came after the South-South Zonal Chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, said on Friday, that Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, would be re-elected by the people of the state because of his sterling performance in office.
Orbih, who stated this during the governor’s re-election campaign at Agbede in the Etsako West local government area of the state, hailed Obaseki for reducing the debt profile inherited from his predecessor.
