LP Guber candidate, Akpata, Edo Deputy gov, Omobayo trade words over secretariat invasion
The conflict between Olumide Akpata and Marvellous Godwins Omobayo regarding the alleged invasion of the Labour Party’s secretariat in Edo State has created quite a stir. Akpata’s accusations and Omobayo’s rebuttal reflect the intensity of the situation.
Akpata’s assertion that the deputy governor, Omobayo, sponsored the invasion and sacking of the party’s executive is serious. He claims that the presence of Ken Omusi, the suspended youth leader allegedly working with Omobayo, and the involvement of Edo State Security Network officers and police attached to the Government House, are evidence of this.
Moreover, Akpata’s statement underscores his commitment to the Labour Party and his determination to contest the governorship election. He warns Omobayo to stay in his lane and not to attempt to destroy the party for personal success.
Omobayo’s response, conveyed through his Chief Press Secretary, Victor Adefemi, vehemently denies the allegations, labeling them unfounded and baseless. He highlights his history with the Labour Party, including contesting as Deputy Governor and for the Akoko Edo Federal Constituency. Omobayo emphasizes his commitment to the party’s principles and denies any involvement in violence or hatred.
This exchange is significant as it not only exposes the internal rift within the Labour Party but also highlights the potential impact on the upcoming governorship election. Both parties seem resolute in their positions, indicating a potentially contentious road ahead. It remains to be seen how this controversy will unfold and its implications for the political landscape in Edo State.
