Trading of words during the election has again reared its ugly head, a few months to the Edo state governorship election, as the Labour Party Candidate Olumide Akpata has accused the PDP of masterminding attack on him at the UNIBEN staff club, which, according to him left one person shot.
He said he was invited to an interactive session with members of the Senior staff club to share ideas since the PDP candidate had also been a guest the previous week.
Mr Olumide said some, however, disrupted the meeting, alleging hoodlums, which he claimed were sponsored by the PDP.
