A prominent APC chieftain in Edo State, Dr. Tony Obahieme, has strongly criticized Arise TV host, Rufai Oseni, for what he describes as a "misleading and manipulative" tweet targeting Senator Monday Okpebholo.

 

Dr. Obahieme accused Oseni of abandoning journalistic integrity, claiming that his actions amount to "narrative manipulation and character assassination." He expressed disappointment, stating, "I don't expect this kind of false and public manipulation from someone we all respect."

 

Defending Senator Okpebholo, Dr. Obahieme emphasized that the Senator has always been accessible and prefers direct communication with the people of Edo State. "He is a full-breed grassroots politician who has earned the love and trust of the real Edo people," Obahieme stated, adding that Okpebholo is poised to become the next governor of the state.

 

He further criticized those who have "failed Edolites," accusing them of corruption and contributing to Edo State's debt. Dr. Obahieme concluded by advising Rufai Oseni to retract his statement and avoid being used by political opponents to mislead the public.

 

Dr. Tony Obahieme's comments have sparked further debate on the role of the media in politics.

 

Alarming reports have surfaced suggesting that there are concerted efforts to disqualify the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, ahead of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Edo State.

 

Reliable sources have indicated that agents associated with the All Progressives Congress (APC) are actively plotting to undermine Ighodalo’s candidacy.

 

The plans reportedly include not only legal maneuvers aimed at disqualifying him from the election but also potentially violent actions intended to incapacitate him, thereby removing him from the electoral contest.

 

The allegations suggest that there is a coordinated strategy to sabotage Ighodalo’s campaign through both legal and physical means.

 

According to insiders, the APC is leveraging various tactics to discredit and disqualify the PDP candidate, thereby diminishing the competition in the gubernatorial race.

 

Moreover, there are grave concerns about the safety of Ighodalo.

 

 

Sources claim that there are plans to harm him in a way that would render him unable to participate in the elections.

 

The gravity of these claims has prompted widespread condemnation and calls for immediate action from security operatives, the judiciary, the Independent National Electoral Commission, national and international observers and civil society organisations.
