- He highlighted the productive synergy between the state government and security forces which has helped tackle security challenges in the State.
Edo governor, Godwin Obaseki, has given the only condition that will make his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, accept the outcome of the State gubernatorial election.
In a post on his official X handle on Thursday, he said the PDP will accept the result of the election if it is free, fair and credible.
Obaseki made this known ahead of the Saturday gubernatorial election in the State.
The governor, who shared updates on his meeting with the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, highlighted the productive synergy between the state government and security forces which has helped tackle security challenges in the State.
Obaseki added that his major demand was for the Edo people to be allowed to freely go to the polls to elect the candidates of their choice.
“We are not asking for any favour but are stating that Edo citizens should be free to go to the polls to elect the candidates of their choice. We will accept the outcome of a properly conducted election.
“For eight years, the security forces in the state have been highly cooperative in helping us address security concerns. Together, we have established Forward Operating Bases and designed a digitised security architecture that has made Edo one of the safest states in the nation,” he posted.
