Landlord evicts tenants for supporting APC in Edo State

Mr. David Agberemole, a landlord in Edo state has evicted 5 of his tenants for supporting APC in the upcoming elections in Edo state.

Sylvester Chukwuemeka, Okosun Christiana and Ogbeide Elizabeth who were some of the tenants affected disclosed that they had suffered a lot just for not supporting PDP which the landlord is supporting.

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.”

Another of the evicted tenants, 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.”

The tenants have called on relevant agencies to come to their aid, they have had help though as 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.
