Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo, on Saturday, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of Local Government elections in the state.
Obaseki gave the remark shortly after he voted at Ward 10, Unit 19 polling station at about 1.50 p.m.
According to him, “In spite of the rain, the turnout has been considerably interesting.
“That means political parties did all that they were supposed to do to sensitize the people.
“Secondly, we can see that the process has been very peaceful. I am very happy with this.
“That people were here some minutes before the close of polls. We have not had any incidence of violence from anywhere,” he said.
On his expectation of the outcome, the Edo governor said he believed the popular candidates would win.
“I believe the popular candidates will win the elections, but don’t forget the PDP went all out to campaign for this election.
“I don’t know how much the other parties mobilized, but I know that the PDP was fully in most parts of the state,” he said
