September 21, (THEWILL) – Senator Monday Okpebholo, candidate of the All Progressives (APC) and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Barr. Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, have cast their votes in the ongoing governorship election in Edo State.
While Akpata voted at Polling Unit 11, Ward 6 in Oredo Local Government Area, THEWILL reports that Okpebholo voted at Polling Unit 1, Ward 2 in Udomi Primary School, Udomi, Irrua, Esan Central Local Government Area of the State.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after casting his ballot, Okpebholo commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its efficiency.
“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.
