“I’m Satisfied With Conduct of Local Government Elections” – Edo State Governor 

The Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the local government elections, which took place on Saturday across the State.

Obaseki made this known shortly after he voted at Ward 10, Unit 19 polling station at about 1:50 p.m.

“In spite of the rain, the turnout has been considerably interesting.

“That means political parties did all what they were supposed to do to sensitize the people.

“Secondly, we can see that the process has been very peaceful. I am very happy with this.

“That people were here some minutes before the close of polls. We have not had any incidence of violence from anywhere,” he noted.

On his expectation of the outcome, the Edo State governor said he believed the popular candidates would win.

“I believe the popular candidates will win the elections, but don’t forget the PDP went all out to campaign for this election.

“I don’t know how much the other parties mobilized, but I know that the PDP was fully in most parts of the State,” he said.
