Senator Monday Okpebholo, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the ongoing Edo State governorship election, has boasted that Asue Ighodalo, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) rival, will not get a single vote at Unit 03, Ward 1, Uwessan, Esan Central LGA in the state.
“PDP or whatever will not get one vote here because this is my home and my people love me,” he said.

Okpebholo also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), saying, “What I’m seeing here is like a testimony that INEC is getting it right.”
When asked to comment on his impression of security deployment for the election, the APC candidate said, “I know that everything they are saying about security – this, that – is ‘hyping’. I mean nothing is happening.
“You can see! Nobody is fighting. No knockout, no stick of matches. So is just for people to scare people away from voting.
“You know Obaseki wanted to cause a fire in Edo state but by the grace of God everything is moving perfectly,” he added.
