The All Progressives Congress
(APC) guber hopeful in Edo State, Mr.
Godwin Obaseki, has charged his fellow contestants from other political
parties in the forthcoming governorship election to keep the peace before,
during and even after the election.
In a press release issued in
Benin-City on Monday, Obaseki, a politician who is widely regarded as a man of
peace, emphasized that peace was very crucial to the conduct of a free and fair
election in any clime and therefore enjoined his fellow contestants to maintain
the peace in the interest of all stakeholders.
The APC candidate also reminded
his rivals that Edo State was bigger than any or all of them, urging them not
to do anything that could jeopardize the peace and progress of the state.
He noted that no election was
worth dying for and therefore admonished his fellow contestants not to make the
coming governorship election in Edo State a “do-or-die” affair.
Obaseki further counselled his
rivals to instruct their followers and supporters not to engage in acts capable
of distrupting the peace of Edo State which, he noted, was widely regarded as
the most peaceful state in the usually volalite South-South geo-political zone.
“Election will come and go, but
Edo State would remain forever”, Obaseki stressed, hinting however that he was
certain to win the September 10 election judging by the immense goodwill he and
his party, the APC continued to enjoy from the people of the State.
