The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Saturday called for the arrest of Asue Ighodalo Campaign Organisation spokesman, Rev Olu Martins, over his utterances in a viral video.
In the first video released on Friday, Martin at the PDP stakeholders’ meeting, said, “If some people leave the party, it will also create space for others. The ones we can beg to stay, we will beg to stay. The ones that did not stay, when we meet, we will beat them. I am sorry, I am a pastor.
“I asked them how Olumide Akpata campaign billboard got to be hoisted at Ring Road. Can you put the banner of another party in Alausa where Tinubu is?
“There are some things I cannot say here. When I spoke to Olukoga, he looked at me and I said from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom suffers violence and the violence take it by force. Who no know go know, who knows too much peme, their father.”
“We know that all the billboards in Oredo and other places have no approval. Even our party was given a letter by the local government that they have not given approval for billboard, so how come we are seeing all these billboards everywhere?”
Despite Martin’s clarification, the acting Chairman of the APC, Jarret Tenebe, in a statement on Saturday, also urged the Department of State Security Service and the Inspector General of Police to take action over Martin’s utterances.
