Let Edo Breathe- Gov Okpebholo’s Aide, Daniel Eromosele Tells PDP

Edo State governor’s aide, Daniel Eromosele, has condemned a call for the declaration of a state of emergency in Edo by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over the recent killing of travelers in Uromi.

This was gathered after the Edo State Chapter of the PDP called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in the state following the Friday mob killing of suspected kidnappers.

Reacting, Eromosele asked the PDP to let Edo State breathe, saying that they were still reeling from their governorship election loss and would do anything to make the state ungovernable.

A statement he signed reads, “The desperation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State is alarming, to say the least. Despite their decisive loss in the September 21 election, they seem determined to inflict pain and suffering on the good people of Edo.

Their strategy? To create chaos and violence across the state, thereby disrupting the peace and progress that the current administration is working hard to establish.

To render the State ungovernable and create room for the declaration of State of emergency in Edo.

“The recent gruesome killings of Muslims traveling through the state are a stark manifestation and reminder of the PDP’s wicked and bizarre intentions.

What’s even more disturbing, however, is the fact that instead of condemning these heinous acts, some senior PDP officials are trying to downplay the severity of ugly incidents.

They’re using these senseless killings to call on the Federal Government to declare a State of emergency in Edo State.

Nothing can be farther from the truth that these same people are the perpetrators of these wicked and barbaric acts of criminality in the State.

It’s so sad that their desperation has lost regard to the sanctity of human life.

“Let’s be clear: there’s no justification for these acts of criminality clothed in violence no matter the political leanings of the perpetrators or their victims.

Every life is precious, and every killing is a tragedy that diminishes us all. Let it be known that those that orchestrated these acts of wickedness and criminality and those that defend them are guilty of the same offence and shall be so rewarded.

“The hard truth is that whatever goes around comes around. The PDP and their failed candidate should let Edo enjoy the peace and progress that Governor Monday Okpebholo is working hard to achieve.

They should wait for 2028 to try their luck again, instead of trying to disrupt the state’s progress through violence and chaos.

“To the good people of Edo, let’s stand together against these political buccaneers and vampires that are out to unleash violence against the good people. Violence has never been and will never be our culture.

We deserve better, and we will not be swayed by the PDP’s antics. The good people of Edo State are solidly behind their ever-performing Governor AKPAKO WONDER.”
