The Peoples Democratic Party has predicted that its candidate, Asue Ighodalo, will win not less than 65 per cent of the expected votes in the September 21 governorship election in Edo.

The party’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said this at a news conference in Abuja about the party’s preparations for the election.

Mr Ologunagba claimed that Mr Ighodalo, with his resonating ‘Prosperity for All Agenda’, is the candidate acceptable across political parties and the electorate.

“From all credible indices across the 18 Local Government Areas of Edo State, the PDP candidate, Ighodalo, is coasting to a sweeping victory with not less than 65 per cent of the total votes expected at the election,” he said.

Mr Ologunagba said that the All Progressives Congress and its candidate, Monday Okpebholo, were already overwhelmed with the massive support Ighodalo was enjoying ahead of the election.

He, however, decried the alleged plans by some political class to derail the electoral process.

“One of such antics was the attempt to manipulate the INEC bio-data process by fraudulently uploading emojis, pictures of foreigners, social media pictures and non-human photos as polling and collation agents.

“This is with the intent to smuggle in hired thugs to masquerade as polling agents and trigger crisis on election day,” Mr Ologunagba said.

He also alleged that there were plans to instil fear in the people of the state and prevent them from exercising their civil rights on election day using some security operatives.

Mr Ologunagba alleged that a suspect, Kingsley Osahon, was arrested in Uromi, while two others, Odion Bright and Timothy Isibor, were arrested in Igueben.

He also claimed that on August 28, an attempt was made by some APC-controlled operatives to arrest Francis Inegbeniki, who had recently defected from APC to PDP.

The PDP spokesman also demanded an immediate investigation into apprehensions in the public domain. He alleged that certain political leaders in the state had reportedly established secret cells in their houses and other locations where they were training and arming thugs for the election.

Mr Ologunagba said no amount of threats, intimidation or harassment would cow or sway the people of Edo from their resolve to elect Mr Ighodalo.
