Comrade Sunny Iyamu,
Secretary,Igueben Local Government media and publicity committee 4 Asue/Ogie campaign council has debunked insinuations that there was mass defection from the governing Peoples Democratic Party to the opposition All Progressives Congress.
Iyamu in a press statement obtained by PERISCOPE NIGERIA described the claims fabrication and desperate attempt to create false narrative.
Recall that Henry Jatto had made the claims about mass defection.
The statement partly read, “As a member of the Igueben PDP campaign council, I can confidently say that the people of Igueben LGA remain committed to the PDP and its vision for Edo State.
“The so-called ‘seismic shift’ is merely a handful of disgruntled individuals who have been swayed by false promises and monetary inducements. The PDP’s grassroots support remains strong, and our leaders, including Hon(Chief )Felix Imoisili, remain committed to the party.
“The closure of the oil company and its impact on the College of Education are not only false but vexatious,as it is operational. Henry Jatto’s attempt to politicize the reformation the institution undergone is a clear sign of desperation.
“Engr. Ayemere Obehi and other leaders have not defected to the APC, and their supporters remain firmly with the PDP. The people of Igueben LGA will not be fooled by Henry Jatto’s propaganda and will reject the APC’s attempts to hijack the narrative.”
While berating the APC for the alleged falsehood, Iyamu added, “Senator Okpebholo’s campaign is built on false pretenses, and the people will see through it. The PDP remains strong and united, and we will emerge victorious in the upcoming election.
“Henry Jatto’s exposure is clear: he is a pawn in the APC’s game of deception, and his claims are nothing but a smokescreen. The people of Edo State will not be deceived.”
