THE leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in ward seven of Oredo Local Government Council of Edo state, yesterday, disassociated themselves from the purported appointment of Elder Peter Ogbeide as a the leader of the ward in place of the Minister of Interior, General Godwin Abbe.
In a statement signed by the Chairman of the ward, Mr Jerry Omorogiava made available to newsmen in Benin City, it described the action of some members of the party whom according to the statement “concocted the lies”, as very mischievous and urged its members to disregard it.
According to the statement, “there was no meeting held where that decision was reached and it was shocking to us to hear that General Abbe has been removed as our leader.In the first place, Gen. Abbe has never been a leader in the ward, the Minister is the leader of Oredo Local Government PDP and also the leader of Edo South senatorial district of the PDP.
“So it is insulting to refer to the General as a leader of a ward when he represents Edo state at the highest level in the presidency.
We are warning all those behind the story to desist from their evil plans as Konkon Ogbeide cannot be equated with the high profile politician of the like of Gen. Abbe.
And we have set up a team to investigate those behind the evil act and any body found guilty will be dealt with” it stated.The statement further advised members of the party in the ward to see themselves as “brothers in one party and stop causing more crises in the party.
We are tired of the antics of some mischievous party members and this cannot help the party and that is why we must stop this nonsense now”.
