Edo 2020: I have no strong opposition – Obaseki
TRACKING____The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has stated that he has no strong opposition for the forthcoming Edo governorship elections.
Obaseki said this in an interview with journalists shortly after meeting with the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, in Abuja.
He said, ‘’First, if you have been watching you will see that the election is almost a no contest because we can’t even find the opposition party in the field.
”So, the issue of me losing is very, very remote, except something miracpus happens.
”If I lose in a fair contest, as a democrat, I will accept it. But, from what we know today and from evidence of what is available, Edo people have spoken and we just want an opportunity for them to express their views on that day.
”So, our concern is that people be allowed to vote peacefully and express themselves the way decide.’
Daily Times reports that the strong opposition to Obaseki presently is the All Progressive Congress governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Recall that Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu attended a debate organized by BBC News Pidgin for candidates in the September 19 Edo State Governorship Election on Friday, September 4.
