He alleged that the party has experienced different attempts at undermining its campaigns by saboteurs.
The Labour Party governorship candidate in Edo State, Olumide Akpata, has accused supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party of destroying his campaign billboards.Briefing journalists in Benin on Friday, Akpata said the action was a desperate attempt to silence his party’s message of hope and positive change for the state.
“Billboards that I, as a law-abiding citizen and a gubernatorial candidate, legally paid for and erected across the length and breadth of Benin City have come under attack from the local government areas, who are agents of the incumbent governor, Godwin Obaseki. “The situation is equally dire and unacceptable in Ovia North East, where two more billboards bearing my visage and campaign messages were mindlessly destroyed by these merchants of antidemocratic forces,” he said.Akpata disclosed that just as no warning was given prior to the removal, no reason was provided after the pulling down of billboard.
