The former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress,Comrade Adams Oshiomhole have been accused by the The Peoples Democratic Party of allegedly deploying security agents to take over the Edo State House of Assembly.

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, said this on Thursday while he charged the Inspector-General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, to stop the attempt to take over the Assembly.

Ologbondiyan, in a statement, titled, ‘.Stop invasion of Edo Assembly now’ said, “The party posits that the invasion and illegal occupation of the state legislature by security agents allegedly deployed by sacked national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, is a direct coup against the democratic order of Edo State and a recipe for anarchy, chaos, and bloodletting.

“We urge the Inspector-General to act with dispatch to curb this nefarious situation, which has heightened tension in the state, and if not halted, may result in a bloody clash as the citizens are already charged to defend their symbol of democracy from a forceful takeover.

“The police hierarchy is urged to note that this provocative and lawless act by the APC is part of its plans to overheat the polity and create a security situation with the view to unleash violence on the people, derail the democratic order in the state and blame it on security agencies.“

Ologbondiyan also condemned what he referred to as “this notorious resort to self-help by the APC and their agents to forcefully take over power in Edo State through the back door.”

The party restated its call to the President Muhammadu Buhari  to rein in Adams Oshiomhole before he triggered a serious crisis in the state.

Also, the Edo State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Chris Nehikhare, in a statement titled, ‘Failed Assembly Takeover,’ said the plot to take over the Assembly was thwarted by the Edo people.
