Obaseki of the All Progressives Congress, the ruling party in Edo
state, and Ize-Iyamu of the Peoples Democratic Party, will battle it out
today for the governorship seat in the state.
The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC),
was pictured as he arrived at his polling unit to cast his vote as
shouts of ‘next governor, next governor’ was heard renting in the air as he joined the queue to vote.
Speaking in Pidgin English, Obaseki, said he is impressed with the voter turnout at his polling unit. “Na
my papa area where dem born me. So a lot of my family dey around here
and everybody dey happy say governorship candidate come from their own
area,” he said.
Obaseki was pictured queuing behind his wife as there are still 26 people before them.
“The queue for my unit is still very long, it will take some
time but I no mind at all. Everything dey very calm, peaceful, no
trouble at all.”
