Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki issued a strong warning on Saturday, describing next week’s governorship election as a “do-or-die affair.”
Obaseki cautioned that any electoral malpractice by the opposition party could result in severe consequences, including death.
He made these remarks 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?
