Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State stands by his statement that the September 21 Edo governorship election is a critical event, despite facing criticism from the opposition.
During an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Obaseki reiterated that the election is a do-or-die affair because the fate of the Edo people is at stake if the All Progressives Congress, APC takes control of the state.
He warned that the opposition party is planning to rig the election and expressed concerns about the impartiality of the police. .
“It’s a do-or-die affair because if they do, we die, the level of impunity, the level of recklessness we see in the opposition party if they take over Edo state, is finished – that is the end.
“If you see the evidence of what they have done, the blatant way they have gone about it. It is like they forget that the police are being funded by taxpayers’ money, Nigerians taxpayers’ money. They should just be a bit more professional and unbiased,” he said.
