A group, Edolites For Peace and Progress, led by Adesua Odigie, has alleged that there is a planned attempt by the All Progressives Congress, APC, to hijack the ongoing hunger protests in Edo State for political purposes.
In a statement issued Saturday by Ms Odigie, the group accused the APC of trying to exploit the protests, aimed at addressing poverty and hunger, to undermine the PDP-led government in Edo State.
According to Ms Odigie, the APC’s actions are a strategic manoeuvre designed to create political chaos and shift blame onto the current administration.
“It has come to our attention that the APC is actively trying to co-opt and manipulate the legitimate grievances of the protesters.
“This attempt to exploit the situation for political gain is nothing short of a desperate measure to discredit the PDP government,” Ms Odigie said.
