Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, has said that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will recognize the results of an election that is conducted legally ahead of this Saturday’s gubernatorial contest.
The governor shared details on his meeting with General Christopher Gwabin Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, in a post on his official X Twitter on Thursday.
Obaseki continued, saying that his main demand was that the Edo people be permitted to freely cast ballots for the candidates of their choosing.
“We are not asking for any favour but are stating that Edo citizens should be free to go to the polls to elect the candidates of their choice. We will accept the outcome of a properly conducted election.
“For eight years, the security forces in the state have been highly cooperative in helping us address security concerns. Together, we have established Forward Operating Bases and designed a digitised security architecture that has made Edo one of the safest states in the nation,” he posted.
