The All Progressives Congress , Edo State chapter, and the wife of the governor of Edo State, Mrs. Betsy Obaseki, are trading blame over the order to close free medical outreach in the state, for campaign.
It said the medical outreach, initiated and kicked-off on Tuesday by the wife of APC’s governorship candidate, Prof. Idia Ize-Iyamu, to provide free health screening and other medical services to the people, especially the vulnerable denied access to health care for years, was disrupted in Uromi by policemen deployed by the Divisional Police Officer and the Area Commander of the Uromi Division.
It condemned the governor’s wife’s action, declaring that it bordered on arrogation of powers with no constitutional basis, insensitivity to the plight of the people and a cruel prioritisation of political showmanship over the health of the poor and vulnerable, abandoned for four years by her husband, Godwin Obaseki.
“The cruelty and insensitivity is further magnified by the fact that Mrs. Obaseki ordered the shut down, because she felt slighted that her political event in the area was completely overshadowed by the medical outreach, as the people, men, women and the aged, expectedly chose to cater to their health than attend a vanity political show that holds no value to them.
