Governor Godwin Obaseki has described the upcoming Edo State governorship election, scheduled for September 21, as a “do-or-die” affair.
The declaration came just two days after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) refused to sign the Peace Accord over alleged unmet demands.
Speaking to a large crowd in Oredo Local Government Area during the PDP’s final rally, the governor said, “This election is a do-or-die situation for us. Do you want insecurity? Do you want uneducated people leading us? Next Saturday, when you go to vote, make sure you choose PDP. Our next governor is going to be Asue Ighodalo.”
Recall that on Thursday, after several parties signed the peace agreement, former governor of Edo State and now APC senator, Adams Oshiomhole, boldly stated that the PDP has no chance of winning the election.
He claimed no miracle can save the PDP from defeat in the upcoming election.
