The Edo State chapter of the Labour Party, LP, has urged eligible voters to ignore the derogatory comments made by some political parties and individuals during the campaign for the Saturday gubernatorial election.
DAILY POST reports that over 2.2 million people with permanent voter cards will be electing their new governor today (Saturday).
There are three major political parties and candidates in the race. The All Progressives Congress is fielding Senator Monday Okpebholo, the Peoples Democratic Party has Asue Ighodalo while Olumude Akpata is the flagbearer of the Labour Party.
There have been concerns over recent comments by the incumbent Governor, Goodwin Obaseki who wants his anointed candidate, Asue Ighodalo to succeed him.
Obaseki had on two occasions stated that the Edo gubernatorial election would be a do or die affair.
