The leadership of the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the State House of Assembly to immediately commence impeachment proceedings against Governor Godwin Obaseki over his alleged threat to burn down the country.
The State Acting Chairman of the party, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, made the call on Monday in a statement made available to newsmen in Benin City.
Tenebe said the governor, in a viral video, threatened to burn down the nation if the murderers of Inspector Akor Onuh in last Thursday’s attack at the Benin Airport are not arrested by the police.
The APC chairman also called on the State legislators to immediately condemn Obaseki’s reckless and dangerous threat to burn down Nigeria.
He posited that to forestall and end the governor’s alleged unprecedented heinous plans, the speaker and members of the Edo State House of Assembly should immediately start his impeachment process, which has become overdue.
He said Edo people can no longer watch Governor Obaseki’s incessant violent politics, which has heightened insecurity in the state.
