Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki has warned that next week’s governorship election in the state is a ‘do-or-die affair’.
Obaseki, who was speaking yesterday during a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally in the Ekemwan area of the State, warned that any form of electoral malpractice from the opposition party would lead to death.
He said, “The person I took over from had no respect for our people, had no respect for women, encouraged prostitution and women trafficking.
“When I took over office our pensioners wore black on Labour Day buy today they wear white. When I took office, our youths had no jobs, but today don’t they have jobs? After eight years, is Edo not one of the safest in Nigeria? This election is a do or die, if they do, we will die. Next week Saturday by this time, vote for PDP to become the next governor”.
The people of Edo State are expected to file out yesterday to vote for the next governor of the State.
Asue Ighodalo, of the PDP, Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), and Olumide Akpata, of the Labour Party (LP,) are the front-runners in the governorship election.
