Edo Elections: Former Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar canvasses votes for Obaseki
By Emmanuel Awosika
Former Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has urged the people of Edo to vote for the PDP’s candidate, Godwin Obaseki, ahead of the state’s governorship election.
He said this in a post on his Facebook account on Tuesday while also charging the Edo people to vote wisely and defend their votes.
He said, “The democracy that we enjoy today was bought at a great price. We can only deepen and sustain it by respecting the sanctity of the ballot and necessary review of our electoral processes.
“As the great people of Edo State go to the polls to elect their governor this weekend, they need to be provided with a secured environment to cast their votes and be assured that their votes will count.
I urge all duly registered voters of conscience and who truly care about the wellbeing of Edo to turn out enmasse to cast and defend their vote for Governor Obaseki. #DemocracyDay2020”.
Godwin Obaseki is seeking re-election as the Governor Edo State, and will go against the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, in the state’s gubernatorial election holding this month.
