Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Labour Party in Edo State has expressed sorrow over the loss of two voters in the elections last Saturday, stating that electoral violence needs to be discouraged and eventually eliminated.

Festus Idahosa, 33, and Elizabeth Owie, a 43-year-old mother of three, were among those killed.

At the deceased’s residence, the state chairman of the party, Kelly Igbaloi, described Elizabeth as a gallant lady who embodied the party’s ideals. He expressed condolences to the deceased’s family and promised that the LP would be there for them.

He said, “It is a loss of a gallant lady. Her death is regrettable. If it is possible, we would have brought her back to life. We grieve as a party and we commiserate with the family and are not on this condolence visit to score a cheap political point.

“Idahosa shouldn’t have been killed because he went to decide the future of the country by going out to vote.

“The LP will do its best to see that the families are supported and not left alone at this time of grief,” he added.

Also speaking, the Edo South senator-elect, Neda Imasuen, said the death of the two persons was sad and should have been prevented.

He said, “This should not have happened to anyone that goes out to perform his or her civic duty. We will be in touch with the family at this time and give them the necessary support.

“It is time for the authorities to put an end to electoral violence. We cannot afford to lose responsible citizens as a result of the activities of thugs,” he added.

The families of the deceased thanked the Labour Party chairman, senator-elect, and other executives for identifying with the families at this time.
