Condemning Political Attacks: A Call for Civility and Respect in Edo State’s Democratic Process

The APC and concerned citizens of Edo State strongly denounce the recent political attack against Senator Monday Okpebholo, perpetrated by Obaseki/Asue Ighodalo. This behavior undermines our democratic fabric, fostering division and hostility that harms everyone.

In a time of numerous challenges, constructive dialogue and debate based on mutual respect and understanding are crucial. Attacks rooted in personal animosity or misinformation distract from critical issues, erode public trust, and devolve political discourse into personal assaults.

Political discourse should elevate our collective aspirations and reflect shared values, not divide us. As citizens, we must demand accountability and integrity from leaders and stand against rhetoric that seeks to divide rather than unite.

We urge the Edo State Police Commissioner and INEC to take a firm stance against such tactics and promote a culture of respect and civility in political discussions. Together, we can foster an environment where ideas are debated on their merits, and all voices are heard and valued.”
