 The other state government has accused the immediate past national chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, and the former governor of the state, Adamso Schoenmele, of being the mastermind of the protests that broke out in Benin City on Wednesday, which claimed three lives and saw the destruction of some banks. The protestors had expressed anger over the scarcity of the new marinades. The state government, which described the riots as systematic and targeted at the PDP-controlled states, called on security agencies to arrest Schoenmele. We believe that the incident of yesterday had a certain purpose. It's, as you can see, as we've said in the press conferences today, it didn't happen by accident. We know that towards elections like this, the practice by the opposition party is to create disenchantment. During my last election, you know how many markets they vote. So this is the same trend. This is what they are trying to achieve in a day to create chaos, to create disaffection in the minds of the people. Unfortunately, as though we have it, we are opposition party at the national level. We're not the one that created these policies. But, as I said, let us throw politics aside, let us focus on our people. In a swift reaction, however, Schoenmele distanced himself from the riots and asked the state government to look elsewhere. It's a late blames for its poor performance in the state.
