Edo Guber 2020: "Obaseki plots to detain Oshiomhole" - APC alleges.

-
The Edo state Chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has alleged that there is a plot by the Governor of the state, Mr. Godwin Obaseki to illegally detain Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the former Governor of Edo state, and former Chairman of the party. According to them, the Governor plans to indulge in a politically motivated probe of the Ex Governor on the eve of the election, 19th of September, 2020.


The Vice-chairman Media, and Publicity Committee of the APC National Campaign Council, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, made these allegations on Sunday, at Benin City during press briefing. 

"Mr. Godwin Obaseki is also planning to continue his persecution of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole with trumped-up and inconsequential charges at the eleventh hour of electoral politics. Obaseki's simple plan is to arraign Oshiomhole for a probe that has been revealed as nothing but a targeted political witch-hunt and then deny him bail on the eve of election and then paralyze APC".
Hon. Obahiagbon further stated that the Governor was also responsible for the violent attacks in Benin City on Saturday, alleging that he set the thugs on protesters who expressed rejection of him and his party, PDP. 

He then appealed to the Police, INEC and other stakeholders to prevail on the Governor to allow the election to be peaceful.

The more lively encounter took place at the Stamford Bridge as the blues were two goals up within the first 45mins, courtesy of a sumptuous free-kick by wonder-boy Mason Mount into the top corner, followed up by a superb strike from Oliver Giroud in less than one minute after Mason Mount's opener, who also assisted the striker. That will be the last goal in the encounter.  The first half of the other encounter at the King power stadium between Leicester and Manchester United, was very calm, but that all changed as the two teams came back from the half time break. The game became more open as both teams went for the win.  United will come out the stronger of the two as, Martial won Manchester United's 14th penalty of the season, a rec
