Barely seven day to the Edo State Governorship election, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says it would defend the votes of its candidate with its blood against rigging by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
DAILY POST reports that the acting national chairman of the party, Ambassador Umar Damagun gave the warning on Saturday at the grand finale of the partys campaign rally in Benin City.
Damagun warned INEC against announcing the results in the midnight, threatening that they would defend the results with their blood.
According to him, please, I enjoin you that we dont want that midnight results announcement. We will be vigilant, on top of the situation, and we will make sure that that doesnt happen.
We are issuing this and it is not a threat, but we are very very serious and we will defend our votes with our blood and everything..
