On Friday, distressing news surfaced on the internet: thugs linked to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) violently assaulted Labour Party members, including their gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Akpata, and his supporters in Uhunmora Ward 2, Owan West LGA. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with social media users condemning the unlawful acts allegedly sponsored by the sitting EDHA Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku.

Despite the attack, Akpata remained composed and refused to halt his campaign in the Ward. Addressing his supporters and the general public at the scene, he said:

“You know the Speaker of Edo State House Of Assembly is from this part of the state, so they are a bit agitated and worried because they are losing out, because they have nothing to show for 8 years in government. They think that what they normally do in politics is to intimidate, but I will not be intimidated. I am not going anywhere until I speak with our people. The people must hear from us, the people must make their choice.”

“I don send message give who send them, say ‘I dey warn you, I don warn you.’ I big pass who them go intimidate, my deputy big pass who them go intimidate. Them nor fit. Talk your own, make we talk our own. We nor find anybody trouble, make them nor find our own trouble.”

Akpata’s bravery, unfiltered words, and steadfast commitment to protecting his team and supporters from oppression underscore his extraordinary character, setting him apart from typical African politicians. With Akpata and Kadiri at the helm in Edo State, the promise of a transformative and prosperous future for all residents is not just a hope but an impending reality.
