The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has
condemned the “attack” on the national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, in Benin
City, the Edo state capital.
Omo-Agege said this in a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, in Abuja on Sunday, October 13,
2019.
Oshiomhole was reported to have escaped a major attempt on his
life by armed thugs who swooped on his Benin residence in Okorotun
Street, GRA, on Saturday, October 12, 2019. The thugs were said to
have shot sporadically into the air.
Describing the development as callous, cowardly, inhumane and
totally unacceptable that should be condemned by all, the Deputy
Senate President noted that politics in the country should not be
allowed to degenerate to “a situation where violence becomes the
language of activism by both politicians and their supporters no
matter how disgruntled such persons may be”.
The lawmaker called on the Police to fish out the perpetrators
and bring them to book.
This, he noted, would serve as a deterrent to others that
political violence is not the best way to resolve conflicts, if
any.
“Such criminal attack, remains utterly condemnable and illegal.
Whatever their grievances, they should learn to explore dialogue
rather than resort to violence,” he said.
“I call on the police to get to the root of the matter by
prosecuting those involved in the act. It is my belief that the
fine principles and ethos of democratic practice do have inbuilt
mechanisms through which internal wrangling can be resolved without
recourse to violence as it was the case in Edo State on
Saturday.
“I would like to call on the parties involved to explore those
options that would strengthen the party as entrenched in the
constitution of the APC as that is the best way to move the state
and the nation to the Next Level in which all citizens are expected
to reap the dividends of the trust they reposed in the government
led by President Muhammadu Buhari”, he stated.
Omo-Agege urged parents to caution their wards against political
violence, adding that the attack negates democratic principles.
