Edo: “This election is a do or die” – Obaseki
Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki issued a strong warning on Saturday, stating that the upcoming governorship election in the state is a ‘do-or-die affair.’
He cautioned that any electoral malpractice by the opposition party would result in severe consequences. Obaseki made these remarks during a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally held in the Ekemwan area of the state.
“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 but 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.”
