Fielding questions from reporters, the former National Labour Congress president maintained that Obaseki’s rumours of fear is intended to create fear among voters who plan to come out and vote on Saturday.
“I want to use this opportunity to remind you all that the job is not complete yet. While I appreciate the massive support all APC candidates received in the February 25 election, which resulted in 100 per cent victory for all our candidates in Edo North, I sincerely appeal to you to come out, even in larger numbers, and with more determination, to vote for all APC House of Assembly candidates in the rescheduled Saturday, March 18, 2023 election.
“Please do not be dissuaded by rumours being peddled by enemies of democracy, that there will be violence in Edo State during the March 18 House of Assembly election.
“The intention is to scare our people away from the polling booths so that the choice of the majority will be truncated. I want to assure you that our security agencies are up to the task of ensuring the safety of all those who come out to vote.” Oshiomhole said
