Coalition of Civil Society (CCS) Groups in Edo reject Obaseki for the following reasons. Call for trial for violating human rights of individuals when he vacates seat in November 2020

It has been a seasoned of outright rejection by different groups of the outgoing governor of Edo state Godwin Obaseki and his deputy Philip Shaibu for severally violating the human rights of groups and individuals in the last four years of their inglorious government.

The group in statement signed by Comrade Adule Suleiman and Dr Mrs Aisosa Ifewina outlined several reasons why Obaseki cannot be voted for by the people of Edo state for the second term because he has severally violated the rights of individuals in the state amongst others they mentioned a few below.

1) MR governor arrested five teachers in Agbede in April 2017 over trumped up charges and were detained for more than a week in the Auchi prison.

2) the government arrested Human right activists Kola Edokpayi and Curtis Ugbo for fighting against injustice by the NPDC and for not employing young graduates from edo state. They spend five months in Oko prison

3) the governor summarily terminated the employment of permanent secretary Mrs ET Idahosa without proper fair hearing.

4) MR Govenor has refused to pay the salaries of Judiciary workers union for going on strike over better wages and conditions of service for the judicial sector.

5) the governor refused to pay the severance allowance of former political appointees who worked with Edo state government and ended their tenure in November 2016. This is against the provisions of the fiscal allocation and wages commission.

7) continuous harassment of social critic TONY Kabaka and the eventual demolition of his private residence for calling for better quality government and service delivery.

violating the Nigerian constitution by preventing the inauguration of duly elected 14 members of the house of assembly since June 2019.

9) openly threatening the freedom of movement of a Nigerian Adams Oshiomhiole asking him to take permission from him before visiting the state as long as he (Obaseki) remains the governor of the state. This is in clear violation of the 1st schedule of the Nigerian constitution.

9) threatening the life of Citizen Chris OKAEGBEN, Lawrence Okah and for state sponsored terrorism against these individuals.

10) Mr Obaseki sent stern looking state security agencies against his own former chief of staff Taiwo Akerele that resigned voluntarily in April. They ransacked his house and threaten to arrest him for resigning from office. This is against the freedom of association under he human rights act of 1979.

11) Mr Shaibu assaulted Dr Blessing AGBOMERE at the benin airport for expressing opposing views. He was later rushed to a nearby hospital for resuscitation.

12) Mr obaseki has committed several economic crimes against the people of Edo state by sabotaging local entrepreneurs and business men while importing fake foreign investors into benin who in turn execute shoddy jobs, get paid and run back to lagos to the shock of hard working Edo people.

Based on this and several others the group insists that obaseki and Philip and indeed the PDP do not deserve the support of Edo people for second term as this could be counter productive for the growth and promotion of human rights in the state
