September 21, (THEWILL) – Senator Monday Okpebholo, candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the ongoing governorship election in Edo State, has won his Polling Unit 001, Ward 2, Udomi Primary School, Irrua, in Esan Central Local Government Area.
According to the result announced by the presiding officer for the unit, the APC scored 102, while the PDP and LP had one vote each.
Earlier, the APC candidate told newsmen that the PDP would score zero in his polling unit.
“What I am seeing here is testimony that INEC is getting it right. PDP or whatever will not get one vote here because this is my home and my people love me. I have nothing to fear. What they are saying about security is hyping. No knockout or a stick of matches. It is just to scare people away from voting.
“You know Obaseki… I don’t know… his wisdom I don’t know. He wanted to cause fire in Edo state but by the grace of God everything is moving perfectly,” he said after casting his vote.
