A chieftain of APC in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has reacted to the bomb attack at Edo APC Secretary, Lawrence Okah’s residence.
He said, ‘All that has been happening that the Governor has pretended he is not aware; People are being shot – you don’t go to their houses; you don’t even condemn it.
Now again this happened and the government will be talking of peace committee. Must he kill because he wants a second term?
The attack on Lawrence Okah’s residence today is not the work of armed robbers. Armed robbers do not come and throw bombs and walk away.
This is not the handiwork of kidnappers. Clearly this is politically motivated. Mr Lawrence Okah is the State Secretary of the party. You can’t force him to do your bidding.
If you want him to work for you; You want him to listen to you, then you must submit yourself to the party. Thinking that you can kill his family, kill his mother, kill his wife because you want a second term is not acceptable.
Enough is enough. Let us warn them. They should not look at their positions. They don’t have the capacity to sustain what they are doing. And they have to be very careful because if they push us to the wall, the consequence will be disastrous.
We have been talking peace with our people but if they begin to think they have the licence to kill, they will be mistaking. If the Police cannot arrest them, we can arrest them. This must stop. This rubbish must stop. They must call their people to order”…
