Obaseki Tells Edo Electorate What To Do After Voting

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has asked electorates to defend their votes in the forthcoming Edo State Governorship Election.

Obaseki stated these on Friday while addressing supporters in Ward 6, Ukhuse in the Owan West Local Government Area of the state, during his re-election campaign rally in the LGA.

Naija News reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the gubernatorial polls for September 19.

Obaseki asked not to go home, but to stay and defend their votes to avoid any form of manipulation.

The governor said, “On September 19, 2020, come out and vote massively for the PDP and make sure you stay back in your polling units to defend your vote to avoid manipulation.

“Don’t listen to them when they ask you to go home or even threaten you. If you obey them, they will manipulate the results.

“My coming to Ukhuse is homecoming; Four years ago, I couldn’t get to you people because of the bad road, but I made sure I constructed the road for easy transportation. Now you can move your commodities to the market and the next village for sales.

“The development of Edo is in your hands. Come out with your Permanent Voters Cards and vote for the PDP and I will make sure I keep all my promises to you all.”

Also speaking at the rally, a PDP chieftain, Kenneth Imasuangbon, urged the people not to be intimidated by threats of violence, adding that they must rise up against political godfathers in the state.
