WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Edo State has reclaimed the property situated at No 59, Airport Road, Benin City the Edo State capital as its party Secretariat four years after it was allegedly forcefully ejected from the premises by the People’s Democratic Party. The Chairman of the APC in Edo State, Jarrett Tenebe, in a speech shortly after the takeover of the party secretariat explained the property rightfully belonged to the APC as the party had renewed the rent for seven years before the PDP, allegedly with the help of then Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, took it from them forcefully. He said, “About 4 years ago, APC made frantic effort to extend the rent age of this particular building which has always been the office of the APC. If you search on google, you will discover that this secretariat still reads “APC’s office”. “The party in the state approached the national office to arrange so that we will be able to pay for more years for the renting off this facility. The national obliged us and sent us money to renew it for seven years. “At that time, we complained to the Inspector General of Police and he, in his wisdom agreed that we should take over the secretariat. But because the Commissioner of Police in the state was working hand in hand with the then Governor, they refused to allow us access. Then, I was the deputy chairman of APC.”
“The Governor then, Godwin Obaseki decamped to PDP and militarily, they took us out of this secretariat, destroyed all our properties, took our vehicles and drove us out of this place.
