Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Edo State, the Obidient Movement and supporters of the party in the state have been admonished to remain calm and focused in spite of the unprovoked attacks on the party’s Secretariat.
The member representing Egor/ Ikpoba-Okha federal constituency of Edo state in the National Assembly and chieftain of the ADC in the state, Honourable Murphy Osaro Omoruyi gave the admonition at the weekend in Benin City after inspecting the extent of damage done to the ADC state secretariat located at Ogbelaka street by the hoodlums.
Hon. Omoruyi who decried the level of destruction and act of arson carried out on the secretariat building by elements he described as enemies of democracy, declared that the barbaric act underscores the panic mode of some desperate politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking to party supporters who accompanied him to the secretariat, Hon. Omoruyi said:
” I am here to assess the extent of damage done to our secretariat by the hoodlums. I have seen the level of damage done, and I am here to advise our members all over the state, the Obidient Movement, and all our supporters not to be deterred by the activities of the criminal elements.
If you are close to these people, the mere mention of ADC causes them goose bumps because they are scared to their bone marrow as a result of what will confront them in 2027.
They are aware of the looming tsunami, so they are scared. All these are signs of morbid fear, but I urge you all to remain calm and focused.”
The ADC federal lawmaker disclosed that as a law abiding politician, he would engage the Assistant Inspector- General of Police Zone 5 and the Edo State Commissioner of Police on the matter in addition with other pertinent issues relating to a rancor free 2027 elections, the outcome of the meeting he said, would be communicated to them.
Recall that last week, some hoodlums suspected to be thugs loyal to some political parties in the state went on rampage at the Edo State ADC secretariat, destroying the building and setting part of it on fire.
