Special Adviser to Edo State Governor on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, says the huge support base of Governor Godwin Obaseki across the three senatorial districts of the state is causing the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Osagie Ize-Iyamu and his supporters sleepless nights.
Crusoe Osagie who spoke to journalists in Benin City, the Edo State capital, on Friday, urged the APC to come clean on allegation of mass thumb printing of ballot papers by APC members in some hotels in Kogi State.
“We are convinced that the candidate of the APC, the party’s leaders and media handlers are suffering from hallucination, given the ease with which they allege things that do not exist. We are also convinced that the growing support base of Governor Obaseki is responsible for the poor health condition of these APC leaders”, he said.

Osagie added that the APC had 2 days ago claimed to have seen a vehicle loaded with arms in Governor Obaseki’s convoy and followed up with another unfounded allegation that security personnel attached to the Governor were involved in sporadic shootings in parts of the state.
He said APC on Friday capped its pack of lies with an even more ridiculous accusation that the PDP was engaged in arms proliferation.
“The APC may likely say on Saturday that it is procuring short-range ballistic missiles or jet bombers, and the day after, they will allege that it is procuring nuclear war heads”.
Osagie said the allegations exist only in the minds of APC leaders; calling on members of the public to completely disregard them.
The Special Adviser on media stressed that Edo voters are earnestly waiting for September 19 to hand Governor Obaseki and his running mate, Philip Shaibu, another four years to continue the good work they have been doing to improve their welfare.
