The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State has said the suspension of the 18 Local Government chairmen and their deputies by the State Assembly was done to maintain order and stability.
DAILY POST reports that the Acting State Chairman of the party, Emperor Jarret Tenebe said this in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday in Benin City.
In the statement titled, “Factional PDP, a security threat to Governance in Edo State”, Tenebe described the recent press briefing by Anthony Aziegbemi, the PDP caretaker committee chairman christened, “extermination of constitutional democracy” and “lawlessness” by the State Government as unfounded and libellous.
