The Governor of Edo State and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 19 governorship election, Godwin Obaseki, has appealed to electorates in the state to re-elect him for “continuity of his people-oriented programmes”.
Obaseki made the appeal at Ogwa, ward 1, in Esan West Local Government Area, when the PDP Edo governorship campaign council held its rally.

He said: “To whom much is given, much is expected.
“I am aware of your request in this community which includes more empowerment, and more appointments.
“I am ready to do my part.
“So, vote for me I work for you.
“This election is important, help me to help you.”
Earlier, Chairman of the PDP state campaign council, Chief Dan Orbih, urged the party’s supporters to come out en masse on September 19th to re-elect its candidate.
Orbih noted that a vote for Obaseki was a vote for progress.
“This election is very important.
“On election day don’t say ‘let me go to the farm first’ or any other place before going to your polling units to vote.
“Go straight to your polling units and vote for our governor, because this election is not about him, but about all of us,” Orbih said.
