Former Chief Whip of the Nigeria Senate, Senator Roland Owie and two other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State were Friday mobbed and harassed by youths.
Senator Owie was raised high up and lifted out of the venue of a stakeholders meeting of the party ahead of Saturday’s Ward congresses.
Others harassed were Samson Esemuede and another simply identified Ijesurobo.
It took the intervention of a governorship candidate, Matthew Iduoriyekemwen before Senator Owie was allowed entry into the meeting venue.
Iduoriyekemwen locked the door and insisted that nobody would be allowed in if Senator Owie is refused entry.
The meeting however commenced at about 6pm .
Dr. Carol Ojugboh who addressed the meeting urged the Edo PDP leaders to work together if they want to defeat Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
Ojugboh noted that Governor Oshiomhole was not somebody to be underestimated in election matters.
He promised that the ward congresses would be free and fair and assured that election materials would be distributed early.
