Battle For Edo: Obaseki And Ighodalo’s Alleged Murderous Plot Against Akpakomiza Ignites Social Media Firestorm

Today, we delve into the comment sections of various social media platforms to analyze the total mayhem and catastrophe caused yesterday, allegedly by known thugs loyal to Governor Godwin Obaseki and Asue Ighodalo, who attempted the life of Senator Monday Okpebholo upon his arrival in Benin City.

The scene was brutal, more akin to a violent movie, with precision targeting that resulted in the tragic loss of his Orderly. The perpetrators are well-known figures within Obaseki’s camp and prominent campaign leaders of the PDP candidate Asue Ighodalo.

We are reviewing the comments from Edo citizens regarding the bloody assassination attempt on the APC candidate, reportedly orchestrated by agents of Obaseki and Ighodalo.

Attached to this article is a video featuring Reverend Olu Martins, a director in Ighodalo’s campaign organization, making inflammatory remarks. In the video, he brazenly claims that the PDP would resort to beating up the opposition if they do not join them, ending his incendiary speech with the phrase, “Who no wan hear, go kpeme.”

Tragically, someone did “kpeme” yesterday—none other than the Orderly of the gubernatorial candidate. Watch the video, read the comments, and share your thoughts on this disturbing development.

 @OsagieEdo “This is outrageous! How low can Obaseki and his cronies go? They’re obviously terrified of Akpakomiza’s rising popularity. They know he’s the people’s choice, so they resort to violence. Shame on them!”

@OgbemudiaWarrior “Is this what our politics has become? Bloodshed and murder attempts? Obaseki and Asue should be ashamed. The people of Edo won’t stand for this brutality. We demand justice for Akpakomiza’s Orderly!”

@IyoreOfEdo “Obaseki and Asue are clearly scared of Akpakomiza because he stands for change. He’s not part of their corrupt system. They see him as a threat to their power, so they try to eliminate him. It won’t work; Edo people are smarter than that.”

@OmoruyiJustice “This assassination attempt shows the desperation in Obaseki’s camp. Akpakomiza is gaining ground, and they can’t handle it. We need to unite and ensure such barbarism is not tolerated in our state!”

@AigbojePatriot “Akpakomiza represents hope for Edo. Obaseki and Asue are afraid because they know their time is up. Violence won’t stop the will of the people. We demand security and protection for our leaders!”

@AdesuwaFutureOfEdo “Obaseki and Asue’s fear is palpable. They know Akpakomiza has the support of the masses, and that scares them. They’ll stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power, even if it means shedding innocent blood. It’s disgraceful!”
