The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors, have declared that they won’t leave Edo State, despite intimidation by men of the Nigeria Police Force.

This was disclosed by the National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus during a press conference in Abuja, yesterday.

Secondus accused security agencies of harassing and threatening the lives of its Governors who had gathered in Benin City, the state capital, ahead of Saturday’s poll.

Secondus, expressed shock that “security agents were detailed to surround the lodging of our governors to harass and intimidate them.”

He questioned why APC governors, “including the governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje; his Imo State counterpart, Hope Uzodima as well as the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, are left free in the comfort of the GRA, Benin residence of Comrade Oshiomhole.

The PDP insisted that “there cannot be two sets of laws for the citizens of our nation.

“Inasmuch as the APC governors are given liberty to stay in Benin City, our governors will not allow themselves to be harassed or stampeded to leave the state.”
