Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has been accused by the All Progressives Congress in the State of planning to arrest it’s leaders over staged kidnappings in the state.

 

The Chairman of the APC Media Campaign Council, John Mayaki, made the claim in a statement released on Thursday.

Mayaki further stated that Obaseki and the PDP have concluded plans to fake the kidnap of some identified PDP members across the state and blame the APC for their disappearance.

He said Obaseki is already intimidating the Police to join in the plot by arresting and remanding APC leaders over the staged kidnappings to prevent them from continuing their grassroots mobilization of voters.

The statement read: “We have been made aware of plans by the outgoing Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, and his party, the PDP, to stage kidnappings of some of their members across the state and blame the APC for their disappearance.”

“We have confidentially obtained the list of some PDP members penned for the fake kidnappings in Edo South Senatorial District and the proposed cash allowance the Governor is offering them in exchange for their cooperation in the reprehensible plot.”

“We are also aware that Mr. Godwin Obaseki is already mounting pressure on the Police to play along with this shameful plot. He has requested that they commence arrest of our leaders across the state and keep them in detention over the fake kidnappings just to keep them out of circulation and prevent them from continuing their grassroots mobilization of voters.”

Chelsea fans went into a state of over excitement after the announcement of Thiago Silva as their next addition to the squad. Silva is the fifth signing in a window that has seen Chelsea maximizing on their spending. With their transfer ban lifted, Chelsea have run riot in the market strengthening every position that had a flaw as per last season.

Hakim Ziyech came for the left wing, Timo Werner came for the center forward, Malang Sarr came for the defense position as well as Thiago Silva who was announced on Friday 28th of August. One position remains unsolved, the central attacking position.

Despite this Chelsea fans have no reason to worry because Kai Havertz is a done deal. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on his Twitter account sending Chelsea fans in a state of overexcitement once again. A curious Chelsea fan on Twitter asked him, “any other Havertz news?” To which he answered, “why another? I already said that Havertz is a done deal.” Another fan asked, “when is it going to be announced?” To which he answered, “it’s up to Chelsea press officers not me.” The statement was accompanied by a smiling emoji to show that he answered on a light note.

This is great news to Chelsea fans who have been expecting Kai Havertz for long time now. The attacker is expected to be announced anytime soon with a special unconfirmed date set in place.
