Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Adams Oshiomhole, has denied being responsible for the protests in Edo
State.
Oshiomhole issued the denial in response to the call for his
arrest by the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, over the protests in Benin
City.
The former governor said the call for his arrest was
unnecessary because he never called for the protests.
Speaking through his spokesman, Victor Oshioke, he said he
only asked people of the state to intimidate the Peoples Democratic Party with
their campaigns and not violence.
A statement by Oshioke reads: “If Oshiomhole used the word
intimidate, he said they should intimidate them with their own campaign, he
said they should not leave the space in Edo for other parties because Edo is an
APC state.
“The short video is everywhere, if they have the whole video
let them post it and judge it with the short one they have, did he say
demonstrate? No.
“Oshiomhole said they should intimidate them with their own
crowd, that the APC crowd should be able to intimidate other parties’ crowds in
Edo.
“Oshiomhole didn’t make any statement to suggest that
anybody should riot against anybody.”
Some youths in Edo State had embarked on a riot over the
current naira and fuel scarcity in Benin City.
