After almost three months of campaigns by the 14 political parties that presented candidates for today’s governorship election, voters in Edo State would decide who would be their governor for the next four years.
Though there are 14 political parties and candidates, the contest is fiercely between the incumbent governor and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governor Godwin Obaseki and the All Progressives Congress, APC and its candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Interestingly, the two men were the major contenders four year ago but then they were in the opposite political parties: Ize-Iyamu was flying the flag of PDP while Obaseki flew the flag of APC. (Vanguard)
