The Director of Media of the Edo APC Governorship Campaign Council, Kassim Afegbua has alleged that the APC has urged the Inspector General of Police to ensure proper security in Edo State election in order to prevent any resort to self-help which would not be beneficial to anyone.

He called for a free, fair, and credible elections but he also threatened that the APC will match the opposition party “eyeball to eyeball” if they try to rig the election. He accused the opposition of trying to circumvent the system and intimidate voters in Edo North. However he argued that they are ready to defend their votes and will not be intimidated. He claimed that Edo North is predominantly APC (95%) and PDP (5%) and that they are confident of winning the election in that local government.

He said in an interview with AIT From 17:24, ”On September 21st, it is going to be a referendum. Edo North people are prepared to punish Obaseki and his godson with their votes. They have been running helter-skelter with the Edo security Network by trying to see how they can circumvent the system but we are ready for them. We are going to match them on toe to toe, we will not be intimidated.

We will not just vote and leave the polling unit. We are going to wait and defend our votes. We will not allow the Edo security Network to come and start shooting guns to carry our ballot papers, it will not happen. The entire Edo North is APC 95% while PDP is 5%. We have told the IGP to ensure proper security, we don’t want to resort to self-help because that will not augur well for anybody. We are for free, fair and credible election but if Governor Obaseki does not want to do that, we also have what it takes to match them eyeball to eyeball.”….V¡ew_More
