Peter BU Okponokhe, a prominent politician and member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has strongly criticized the Alliance Network for Democracy Group for lambasting Adams Oshiomole, the former National Chairman of the APC and senator representing Edo North, over allegations of plot to hijack the Edo Ministerial Slot and biased appointments as leader of APC in Edo state. Okponokhe accused the group of being faceless and attempting to tarnish the reputation of Oshiomole without providing concrete evidence for their claims.
In a statement released on Saturday Okponokhe blasted the Alliance Network for Democracy Group for making baseless accusations against Oshiomole without any substantial proof. He emphasized that it is important for political groups and individuals to present verifiable evidence when making serious allegations against public figures, in order to avoid spreading false information and breeding unnecessary tensions.
Furthermore, Okponokhe questioned the credibility and motives of the group by referring to them as “faceless.” He pointed out that faceless groups have no accountability and are often used as tools to propagate false narratives and destabilize political environments. Okponokhe called on the Alliance Network for Democracy Group to reveal their identities and provide concrete evidence to support their claims against Oshiomole.
Okponokhe also highlighted the need for open dialogue and constructive criticism within political parties. He emphasized that criticism should be based on objectivity and fairness, rather than personal vendettas or hidden agendas.
Okponokhe expressed his disappointment that the faceless Group is not aware how Oshiomole has empowered Edolites across the state rather than engage in meaningful discussions about the development of Edo State and the country at large.
Peter Okponokhe firmly condemned the Alliance Network for Democracy Group for their unfounded allegations against Adams Oshiomole. He urged the group to come forward and provide concrete evidence to support their claims, rather than hiding behind faceless accusations. Okponokhe emphasized the importance of responsible and transparent political discourse, which focuses on the betterment of society rather than personal attacks.
