Former Governor of Edo State and APC Chieftain, Adams Oshiomhole Friday raised alarm over bloodshed in the state as he accused the opposition of having a hand in the tragic death of a police inspector attached to the APC governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo.

Speaking during a rally at the Egor area of the state, Oshiomhole demanded justice for the Police Inspector.

The rally, which drew a significant crowd, quickly became a platform for Oshiomhole to express his outrage over the incident and rally support for peace and justice in Edo State.

Oshiomhole described the opposition as “bloodthirsty,” accusing them of resorting to violence to achieve their political ambitions. 

He lamented the loss of the police inspector, emphasizing the need for a political environment where lives are respected, and leaders are chosen based on their commitment to progress, not through intimidation and bloodshed.

“This senseless act of violence is not just an attack on one man; it is an attack on the very fabric of our society,” Oshiomhole stated. “Edo people must stand united against those who believe that violence is the path to power. We must demand justice for the fallen and ensure that peace prevails in our communities.”

As Edo State gears up for the upcoming elections, the atmosphere is charged with tension. However, Oshiomhole’s message was for the people of Edo to not allow themselves to be intimidated by those who thrive on violence. Instead, they must use their votes to choose leaders who will protect their interests and foster an environment of peace and development.
