Kogi state governor, Idris Wada has accused his Edo state counterpart, Adams Oshiomole of sponsoring cultists to disrupt tomorrow’s governorship election in Kogi state.
Governor Idris Wada
The allegation was contained in a press statement issued today, November 20, by the chief communication manager to the governor, Mr Phrank Shaibu.
In a press conference held at the deputy governor’s office in Lokoja today, Shaiubu alleged that several cultists funded Oshiomole were imported into Lokoja with cache of arms and are lodged in three hotels in the state capital.
According to him, the cultists are led by one Philip Shaibu, who is a serving member of the House of Representatives and a former factional president of the National Association of Nigerian Students.
45-year old Shaibu is the All Progressives Congress House of Rep member representing Etsako East/Etsako West/ Etsako Central Federal Constituency in Edo state.
The governor’s aide vowed that they won’t lay docile and wait for the alleged cultists to overrun the state, adding that they are calling the attention to the whole world to what is playing out in Kogi state.
Efforts to reach the Edo state governor’s office as at the time of this report have not been successful.
