Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has urged civil servants to vote for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 21 governorship election, warning that they would be the first victims if the All Progressives Congress (APC) wins.
Speaking at a thank-you meeting with public servants ahead of the election, Obaseki expressed his gratitude for their support, saying, “I came to appreciate and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn’t have achieved what we have without you.”
He emphasised the importance of continuing the state’s development, stating, “This is a journey. While I am concluding this phase, the momentum must be maintained. We cannot afford mistakes on Saturday.”
Obaseki criticised his opponents, claiming they lack experience and competence.
“Those seeking power at all costs are uneducated and inexperienced. The risk of allowing such individuals to lead is significant. It’s not just about me but about democracy and development,” he said.
He warned that a poor electoral choice would directly impact civil servants first, saying, “Any mistake you make will affect you before anyone else.”
Ighodalo, for his part, praised Obaseki’s achievements and pledged to continue his work.
“One of the worst things is to have leadership that you cannot be proud of. Edo State will not face such a situation,” Ighodalo said.
