The Edo Salvation Group (ESG) has expressed concern over the viral video of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebhelo, pledging to provide INSECURITY as governor of Edo State.

The group in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday, September 8, 2024 and issued by its national coordinator, Imman Ekpe said it was seriously bothered by the viral video showing Senator Okpebhelo vowing to provide insecurity to Edo State as governor.

Noting that it had waited days for Okpebhelo and his enablers including Senator Adams Oshiomhole to deny the video, the group said that it was now satisfied that the video was apparently not a fabrication.

Like many people in the Edo State project we were concerned about the video that showed the APC governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebhelo saying that he will provide insecurity to his listeners.

Like many other stakeholders we have watched and watched the video, seen the gesticulation of Senator Oshiomhole and we are now fully convinced that the video was not a fabrication.

We believe that this is a serious issue that must not be put aside and we truly believe that Senator Okpebhelo does not understand what he said.

While we pardon him for his error, but it also underscores the issues before the voters going into this election. It brings to question the capacity of the candidate who has made several other gaffes including using transformers as the complete answer to electricity.

These gaffes clearly point to the fact that Senator Okpehelo is not an option as he will either be a dummy for Oshiomhole or really provide Edo State with insecurity through his gaffes if he becomes governor through his lack of capacity.

In the light of this we painfully ask Senator Okpehbelo to within 24 hours go on television to explain what he meant by providing insecurity or we would come out to openly disclaim him as a candidate fit for office.
