PDP CONDEMNED AN ALLEGED DIRECTIVE OF EDO WORKERS TO SUPPORT APC

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State has condemned an alleged directive to all civil servants in the state to wear APC arm bands and adorn their walls and tables in the office with the party’s posters and flags or risk being sacked.

 Mr Chris Nehikhare, State Publicity Secretary of the party in Edo, in his statement said, 

“Civil servants are suppose to be apolitical, the trend where they were ordered through text messages ostensibly from the Head of Service to immediately adorn the arm bands, paste posters and put the APC flag on their desks, ‘with immediate effect’ is a tragedy.

“Even as the text messages were also sent to local government employees, indications are that they will not comply due to the several months’ arrears of unpaid salaries.

“Even the orders to the head of Service who was also said to have received orders to proceed to collect consignments of the arm bands, flags and posters of the APC candidate from the party secretariat along Airport road, Benin City, is pathetic as it shows a desperation on the part of APC government to win the September 10 elections at all costs”.
