Edo State Government has faulted the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, over its alleged increasing fabrications and falsification of information for cheap political gains ahead of the September governorship election in the state.

The government said that the latest was a claim by the PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Chris Nehikhare, that Governor Adams Oshiomhole was seeking to extend the tenure of local government councils and that it was listed for April 5, 2016 order paper in the House of Assembly, noting that this turned out to be another of PDP fabrication.

A statement by Executive Director, Media and Public Affairs, Governor’s Office, Mr. John Mayaki said, “The other day, Sanballat was everywhere taking, then Tobiah joined him at Uromi and on Wednesday, Geshem joined the fray. But we all can see that no such thing was done in the Assembly as the PDP alleged. The PDP forgets that there will always be a party smarter than they and with everything figured out.

“Oshiomhole is doing a great work, building the broken walls of Edo which the PDP-led government bequeathed to us. There was no such thing on April 5, 2016 order paper in the Assembly for debate. PDP should stop seeking for cheap political gains with fabricated information.”
