Benin City, Edo State – January 15, 2025 – An act of brazen violence erupted today at the Governorship Election Tribunal in Benin City, as supporters of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opened fire and loudly shouted, “We want our mandate back!” The shocking display of lawlessness during a judicial proceeding has sent ripples of anger throughout the state and beyond, with netizens and Edo residents condemning the PDP’s involvement in this reprehensible act.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) wasted no time in denouncing the violence, with Emperor Jarret Tenebe, APC Chairman for Edo State, labeling it a “disgusting and unacceptable act” aimed at destabilizing the rule of law. “Violence has no place in a civilized society,” Tenebe declared. “Those responsible must be held accountable, no exceptions.” His statement resonated deeply with the public, who are calling for immediate justice for those involved.

Netizens across the country have reacted with outrage, their cries against the PDP growing louder by the minute. Oluwaseun Akinlade, an angry Twitter user, expressed his disgust: “PDP has no respect for the rule of law! They are willing to use guns and violence to impose their will. This is beyond unacceptable. The authorities need to take immediate action!”

The anger was even more pronounced among Edo residents, who see this violent act as an assault on the very essence of democracy. Mrs. Nkechi Okojie, a mother and Benin City resident, couldn’t hide her fury: “This is not politics anymore. This is thuggery! The PDP should be held fully responsible for this madness. Our children are watching, and they must see that violence has consequences!”

Business owner Kingsley Omoregie was equally incensed: “The PDP has crossed the line. What happened today is a clear act of terrorism. We cannot allow them to intimidate the courts and our society. This must not go unpunished.”

Even Barrister Ngozi Igbinosa, a respected lawyer, expressed grave concern: “This is an attack on the integrity of our legal system. The PDP’s supporters have turned to violence to settle their grievances. It’s time for the authorities to send a strong message that this kind of lawlessness will not be tolerated!”

The outcry against the PDP is deafening, with citizens across the state and nation demanding swift action. The message is clear: violence should never be allowed to dictate the course of politics, and the PDP must answer for the chaos they have unleashed. The cries for justice are now louder than ever, with the public calling for the swift arrest and prosecution of those responsible for today’s terrifying display of violence.
