A landlord, Mr. David Agberemole, has sent at
least 5 tenants in his house in Uzea Community in
Esan North East LGA of Edo State, packing for
supporting APC.
The tenants, Sylvester Chukwuemeka, Okosun
Christiana and Ogbeide Elizabeth, who lamented
their ordeal said they have suffered untold
hardship from their landlord for not supporting the
PDP which the landlord was sympathetic to.
Christiana said, “We don’t have any problem, just
party differences, he told us he wanted everyone in
the house to support PDP, because he is a
member of the party, but i refused.
I told him that i have been in APC for a very long
time that even if the PDP is buying me a car I
prefer to remain in the APC, and he said since that
is my stand; I should consider myself evicted from
his house."
Also speaking, Chukwuemeka said: “I don’t
understand why the landlord will just decide to
drive us out of his house because we are not
supporting PDP. I pay my rent regularly and this is
not fair to me. The state government should come
to our aid because I don’t know when it became a
crime to support a party.”
Chukwuemeka called on relevant authority to come
to their aid just as the Acting Executive Chairman
of Edo State Internal Revenue Service, Barr.
Emmanuel Usoh has given the evicted tenants
some bags of cement and money to build their
own houses.
