Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki on Saturday warned that next week’s governorship election in the state is a ‘do-or-die affair’.
Obaseki warned that any form of electoral malpractice from the opposition party would lead to death.
He spoke during a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, rally 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 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.”
On Saturday, September 21, the people of Edo State will file out 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.
