Dan Orbih, Chairman of the People's Democratic Party in Edo State, has criticized former House of Assembly member Oghuma Johnson for accusing him of using policemen to chase away All Progressives Congress members in Ogbona village during the governorship election. Oghuma alleged that many APC members were unable to vote in the village because the police allegedly chased them away. The development affected the performance of his party in the area. The APC chief said, “Orbih influenced the policemen in Ogbona. Many APC members were driven away while PDP members were busy thumb-printing. Even a retired commissioner of police is aware of this. As a party leader in the unit, I tried to contact other APC leaders. I could only watch from afar. This affected us in the area.”Orbih dismissed the allegations, saying Oghuma was out to please Governor Adams Oshiomhole. He said, to a large extent, the election was peaceful in the local government area. Observers who visited the polling units saw that the election was free and fair. Orbih should find other means and ways to curry favours from his political masters rather than tell lies.
