Senator Alimikhena Disowned Ihonvbere Campaign Organization Over Rumour To Dumped APC

The Deputy Whip of the Senate, Senator Francis Alimikhena has disassociate himself from the ongoing rumour to dumped the All Progressive Congress (APC) as currently been circulated by the media team recruited by the Ihonvbere Campaign organization in their desperation to discredit him ahead of the forth coming APC primary election.

The statement reads “Edo state will be having all 3 Senators in the Peoples Democratic Party soon as report has it that Sen Francis Alimikhena is negotiating return to PDP. “

He challenge the sponsors and circulators of the baseless allegation to go ahead and publish the report and the steps he (Alimikhena) has taken so far to join the opposition party. He cautioned the Ihonvbere campaign organization against endangering the ongoing peace and unity across Edo North APC family in their desperation in seeking the APC senatorial ticket which is not available.

He frown at the publication which he said was deliberate to create disunity between him and his leader Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is Edo North leader and it behooves on all of us to pray for him, support him and joined him to achieve the National task given to him rather than creating tension for him and avenue to create division in the Edo North APC. The statement described the  sponsor of such unguided utterances as enemy of democracy who do not wish Comrade Adams Oshiomhole well. He urged them to withdrew their words and not distract the efforts of the APC National Chairman in his mission to unit the ruling party.

While expressing his appreciation for constructive criticism and willingness to accept correction the statement challenged these miscreants elements who have been recruited to plunged Edo North into crisis, breakdown of law and order to take a tour on the various eye marked infrastructural developmental strides in Edo North and the ongoing dualization attracted by Senator Francis Alimikhena before pushing their selfish agenda to justify unrealistic conclusions the statement added.
