The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said he would accept his defeat in the upcoming gubernatorial elections provided the elections is free and fair.

The Governor, however, said the issue of him losing the election is irrelevant, saying there is no strong opposition in the elections.

Obaseki, who spoke in an interview with journalists shortly after meeting with the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, in Abuja, expressed fears over the security situation in the State, where violence has been recorded without any arrest, said he was satisfied with the outcome of his meeting with the IGP.

Asked what his reaction would be if he loses in the elections, Obaseki said: ‘First, if you have been watching you will see that the election is almost a no contest because we can’t even find the opposition party in the field. So, the issue of me losing is very, very remote, except something miracpus happens. If I lose in a fair contest, as a democrat, I will accept it. But, from what we know today and from evidence of what is available, Edo people have spoken and we just want an opportunity for them to express their views on that day. So, our concern is that people be allowed to vote peacefully and express themselves the way decide.’

Make I quote you sharp sharp.

19/09 will end in tears

Do you have an option not to accept defeat in a fair contest?

Former Bauchi state Governor a member of the ruling APC was defeated squarely and he walked away talk less of an opposition governor.

If he lose, and he believes the election is not free and fair, but, INEC believe is free and fair what will he do?

He will feel the full might of the FG.

You don't understand what you quote bro

If INEC declares Ize Iyamu as the winner, Obsekei can only go to the tribunal, what else can he do?

Where in Edo state are you?

Very good. That's the spirit of democracy

Accepting defeat is not optional. You do not have a choice. It is only the courts that can determine if an election was free and fair bit a contestant like you. Or as governor does he think he has such powers?because nothing Musa no go see for Obaseki gate. I hope the online supporters you seem so confident about have pvc to Vote in Edo.
Projects you could not site in each ward. For 4years you were enriching your consultant friends and shouting godfather,no sharing money. The villagers,unemployed youth have written your result they will hand it over to you on September 19 and it will be unveiled for all Nigerians to see September 20.

Shut up

Its getting clearer to him

Yea, you are right , its Tribunal .... I don't see a federal might in Edo , due to the politicking about the election ...I am in Edo north ... I am not a member of any of the party ....just what I know and have confirmed...APC vs APC ~ 2023 presidency.

It seems you now get me a little bit!

If INEC declares Ize Iyamu the winner, and Obaseki talk say e no gree, so e no go handover, then that's when he will know what is called the federal might.

I'm thinking this way, base on what Obaseki is saying.

They do believe that walking away quietly after defeat is not what is expected of them. Are they doing us any good if they don't accept the result in good fate?

But don't mind him...

He will still approach the court and call the INEC all sort of names.
