Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state has called on the
Independent National Electoral Commission not to postpone the September 10,
2016 Governorship election in the Edo State, declaring that his party, the All
Progressives Congress (APC), is “over-prepared” for the Saturday-scheduled
polls.
He said shifting the election would further postpone the
“final burial of the PDP for too long.”
According to him, “The APC is ready for the election this
Saturday and that was why we held our mega rally on Tuesday and after that
rally our people across the State became more committed, more dogged and ready
for the Saturday election.
“I am already preparing to go to my
village to also mobilize my people as other party leaders are doing, that is to
let you know that we are not relaxing despite the fact that we know the PDP is
already dead and our people are just getting ready for the burial.”
However, Oshiomhole who stated that
security issues are security issues and as regards elections they are very
critical, noted that “if on their own they are calling on INEC for postponement,
I am sure they must have their reasons because they are experts in it. If you
recall, we raise the alarm that the PDP had planned to import thugs from
neighbouring States to help them unleash mayhem on our people because they are
not prepared for the election”.
