The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has sparked reactions after erroneously giving a wrong date for the forthcoming presidential election of February 25, 2023.

Naija News reports that the Delta State Governor and Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa, shut down a popular market in Asaba, Ogbeogonogo market and schools in Asaba, the state capital for the party’s campaign rally holding at the Stephen Keshi Stadium.

During the rally, Obaseki said Deltans and Edo supporters have concluded plans of voting for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

According to him, there is no way in the All Progressives Congress (APC) unlike PDP and the party will win the election by a landslide.

At the conclusion of the speech, Obaseki urged supporters to come out en mass to vote for Atiku on October 25, 2023.

This sparked reactions from some netizens.
