One of the governorship aspirants of the All Progressive Congress, APC Godwin Obaseki
and his supporters escaped death on Sunday when armed men opened fire
on them at Sobe, Owan West Local Government Area of the state.
Recall that the deputy governor of the state, Dr. Pius Odubu
also escaped assassination earlier this month, when armed men opened
fire on him and his entourage at the party Secretariat in Auchi, Etsako
West LGA of the state. Click here if you missed it
According to Edo state Commissioner for Arts and Culture, McDonald Obasuke, Obaseki who is the Chairman of the Economic Team of the state, and Governor Oshiomhole‘s
preferred candidate was about to address party delegates when a man
went inside a car, brought out a gun, and shot at the governorship
aspirant.
“While we were still expecting
delegates, Obaseki was already inside with the party leaders when this
boy, who pretended he was with us, went inside a car, brought out a gun
and fired in our direction. We were lucky to dodge the bullet, so we
immediately mobilised our boys and pursued him and others because it
seemed they came to disrupt the event. We caught them and handed them
over to the police. It was really shocking but we thank God nobody was
hurt. However, Obaseki could not address the delegates because of the
shooting,” he said
