In the wake of his recent threat that “Nigeria will burn”, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has appealed to the National Security Adviser, NSA, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, to place Edo State governor Godwin Obaseki on security watch.

In a statement yesterday, the state chairman of APC, Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, said the call had become necessary because facts have emerged that hoodlums are being recruited for protests and to execute the threat.

He also called for the commissioner of police, Funsho Adegboye, to resign arguing that, the party is, “Worried by the open partisan role he has played in recent times.” In the alternative, he said, “Mr. Adegboye should be transferred out of Edo State, because his action is capable of bringing the force to disrepute”.

According to Tenebe, Governor Obaseki’s aim is to create anarchy in Edo and other South-South states and thereafter blame the APC for the destructions that will follow the protests.

He said, “Specifically, we make the following passionate and patriotic appeal to the National Security Adviser: To carry out a comprehensive investigation on the recent meetings that was held by Governor Obaseki, within and outside Edo State.

“Withdraw or change his security details as the day for the planned protest draws nearer, restrict the governor’s movement before the planned protest, especially on the protest day”.

The Edo State APC chairman who said, “It is embarrassing and worrisome that the Edo State House of Assembly has turned blind eyes to the danger Obaseki has become”, added that even the speaker and legislators have so far refused to condemn the serious security breach the governor has committed.

“The prevailing circumstance is worrisome and demands urgent action that will frustrate the plan Obaseki has made with Edo State Security Network (ESSN), POWOV and thugs from the five other South-South States of Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Bayelsa”, Tenebe argued.
