Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Friday, urged voters in the state to go out en-masse and cast their votes for the PDP in the September 19, 2020 governorship election and ensure they defend their votes by keeping an eagle-eye on the process and the results as they unfold.

Obaseki made the call when he addressed party faithful in Ward 6, Ukhuse in Owan West Local Government Area (LGA) during his reelection campaign rally in the area.

According to him, “On the 19th of September, 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.”

Obaseki said “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 (PVCs) and vote for the PDP and I will make sure I keep all my promises to you all.”

On his part, chieftain of the PDP and former governorship aspirant, Kenneth Imasuangbon, charged Edo electorate not to be intimidated despite threats of violence, urging them to turn out en masse with their PVCs to vote for the PDP and ensure that their votes count.
