Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has called on Labour Party, LP, supporters in Edo State to safeguard their votes during the state’s September 21 governorship election.
Otti, who joined Olumide Akpata, the LP candidate for the Edo governorship election, during campaign rallies in Benin, said that the party would not allow its votes to be compromised.
He expressed optimism that the Edo people would vote for LP, adding that his coming to Edo was to tell the people to protect their votes.
“In Abia State, we didn’t sleep for four days. If you sleep, they will steal your votes.
“After voting, young people should stay behind at polling units to ensure the protection of the votes.
“Follow the results from the units to the wards, the local government, and the state collation centers,” Otti said.
The Abia governor also expressed confidence in Akpata and his running mate, Yusuf Kadiri, stating that they were the best team to lead Edo.
