A political storm is brewing in Edo State as the governorship election approaches. Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, has warned Governor Godwin Obaseki to be vigilant, alleging that his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole, cannot win without rigging.

Amadi, in a statement on his X account, said, “In Edo election, the focus should not be much on @inecnigeria. In off-season elections, INEC comes out well.

The security, especially @PoliceNG, is the problem. Watch them slowly. @GovernorObaseki should never close his eyes. Adams can’t win without rigging.”

Obaseki has also cried out, alleging plans to arrest many Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders in the state. He claimed the plan was to give the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Monday Okpebholo, victory in the coming governorship election.

In a statement on his X handle, Obaseki alleged that the police connived with the APC to illegally arrest and detain PDP party members, aimed at stirring up crisis in the state. “I have it on good authority that the plan is to arrest as many PDP stalwarts as possible. This is a very dangerous trend and poses a real threat to our democracy.”

He added, “A situation where the sitting local government chairman of Esan West is arrested and whisked away to Abuja, undermining my authority as the Chief Security Officer of the State, is totally unacceptable.”

Obaseki said he would make his positions known to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who is expected in the state today.
