Monday Okpebholo of Edo has condemned the recent attack on members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
This is contained in a statement signed by Dr Patrick Ebojele, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor on Wednesday, in Benin.
Okpebholo expressed sympathy with the affected ADC members and warned that his administration would not tolerate violence.
The governor emphasised that politics should focus on performance and engagement with the people, rather than violence and intimidation.
He urged residents of Edo to remain calm and maintain peace, saying “Edo remains a peaceful state, and no one can take that away from us.”
Okpebholo also urged the police and security agencies to monitor political gatherings and prevent escalation of violence.
He warned those seeking to cause unrest that their actions would not be tolerated.
World SwiftNews (WSN) recalls that the attack on ADC members occurred on Tuesday, with reports of thugs destroying property and injuring party members at the ADC secretariat.
