As campaign for House of Assembly election in Edo hots up, the state governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki has taken a "save me from APC impeachment" campaign to markets in Benin City.

Dailymonitorngr recall that the state governor had last Friday during a meeting with women from the 12 wards and 619 units in Oredo Local Government Areas (LGAs) canvassed for vote for the People's Democratic Party candidates (PDP) in order to save him from the unforseen All Progressives Congress (APC) impeachment, if they have majority lawmakers in the House.

Dailymonitorngr also reported that still overshadowed with the fears of the possible impeachment, the governor again on Tuesday stormed several markets in Benin metropolis to beg traders to save him and his government.

Some of the markets visited include the Uwelu and Evbareke spare part markets in Egor Local Government Area, as well as the Oba and Tyre Dealers Markets in Oredo Local Government Area of the state.

Addressing the traders at the markets Obaseki said, "the election of Saturday, March 11, 2023, is our election in the State. My administration has been attending to roads, schools, healthcare, and electricity, and fighting land grabbers in various communities across the State. 

"We can't do the road now at Evbareke because we need a drainage system first; we are working on that already.

“You need not make the mistake of voting for the wrong people as they will come into the system to disrupt our developmental strategy. 

"They were there before but followed the instructions from their godfather as they didn't resume at the Assembly.

“They say they will impeach me when they come into the House", he said 

Obaseki who also spoke on the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly Elections accused the ruling APC government of manipulating the elections to favour its candidates.

The governor who noted that after the Saturday 25th February election, the people were discouraged, however, urged them to come out and vote en masse to prove the riggers wrong.

According to him, they can't steal our votes at the centre and still steal our votes in the State. They have started again to share money to their lions and tigers, empowering them to cause confusion in Edo. Please support the PDP in this election.

Responding the Chairman of Auto Spare Parts Dealers Association, Evbareke Market, Osamuyi Iyamu , assured the governor of their support for the PDP in the forthcoming House of Assembly elections.

Also, the Chairman of Uwelu Spare Parts Market, Osa Collins commended the governor’s achievements across various sectors of the state.

“I am happy you are here with us. We know all you have been doing in the aspects of education, and electricity, among others",he added.
