Edo State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  governorship candidate in the July 14 election, Maj. Gen. Charles Airhiavbere (rtd), has called on his Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, opponent, Governor Adams Oshiomhole, to refrain from campaign of calumny and adopt issues-based and knowledge-driven campaign.

Airhiavbere, weekend, at a rally in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of the state, where over 1,000 members of ACN, Labour Party and other nonaligned groups declared support for his forthcoming governorship election, said: “The electioneering, as far as the PDP is concerned and from what you have seen, is going to be issues-based, knowledge-driven and will be well-researched and delivered.  Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.”

Airhiavbere said the movement of people in large numbers to the PDP was an indication that the transformation train had taken off from the station for the promised land.

He challenged Oshiomhole to tell Edo people what he still has to offer after marginalising some local government areas in the state, adding,  “I tell the people that there is a transformation agenda that we have come to implement when we step in the saddle on November 12, 2012, consequent upon our being elected.”
