Edo not Lagos – Atiku warns APC against stealing votes in guber poll

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has cautioned against any attempts to rig next week’s governorship election in Edo State.

Speaking on Saturday at a campaign rally in the Ekemwan area of the state, Atiku emphasized that Edo is not like Lagos, where he alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) can manipulate election outcomes.

He urged the people of Edo State to protect their votes and ensure that the election is free from rigging attempts, encouraging them to stay vigilant.

“If you remember four years ago they threatened us, didn’t they do that? They said they won’t allow us to win in Edo State.

“But what did we show them, ‘we showed them that Edo State no be Lagos,’ didn’t we do it?

“So this time again, we are going to show them that ‘Edo no be Lagos.’ They can’t steal votes here, therefore, protect, defend, escort your votes.

“Make sure your votes are entered, make sure your results are announced, of you do that no Jupiter will come and change your votes.

“You are winning next week, do you agree? ‘Edo no be Lagos”Atiku said.

Next week Saturday, the people of Edo State would file out to vote for the next governor of the state.

Asue Ighodalo of the PDP, Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party, LP, are the front runners in the governorship election.
