The problems rocking the Edo state All Progressives Congress (APC) is continuing as the platform built for speakers and two vehicles in the venue were recently damaged and burnt overnight by unknown persons.
Speaking to a large crowd at Iyekhe off Poly Road in Auchi, Etsako West local government area, Oshiomhole said the ruling party is a peaceful one and they would keep preaching peace wherever they go.
According to him, those that burnt their properties should be ready to burn more things because APC cannot be stopped.
He added that APC members should not be provoked to fight but should channel every angry energy in them into ensuring APC wins the governorship election in the state.
His words, “APC will be a different party. When I was told that they burnt this place last night, I said they should be prepared to put more fire in other places because they can’t stop us.
“But don’t allow anybody to push you to any length that provokes you to fight. Those who think they have the power to fight should channel such energy against the opposition parties. What is happening here should reinforce our conference in God, when God decrees peace, nothing can stop it, when God day it, no man born of a woman can stop it.
“I don’t want to be a national Chairman who will campaign across the country and will not be able to win his polling unit because politics is local.
‘There are people who think that when they reach a high level, they forget the local. I was governor before now I am no longer governor, I am national chairman today, tomorrow I will no longer be national chairman. Let me tell those people in high places that the only permanent place in grassroots politics is a game of numbers not a game for the powerful because on election day all have one vote.
“I want to urge all unit leaders, ward leaders, local government leaders and state leaders to integrate all those who have just joined us”
