Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Saturday warned against any attempt to rig next week’s governorship election in Edo State.
Atiku, who spoke at the grand finale of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship campaign rally in the Ekemwan area of the state, argued that Edo was not Lagos State where he alleged election could be rigged by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He urged the people of the state to protect their votes in the September 21 election.
He said: “If you remember four years ago they threatened us didn’t they do that? They said they won’t allow us to win in Edo State.

“But what did we show them? We showed them that Edo State no be Lagos,’ didn’t we do it?
“So this time again, we are going to show them that Edo no be Lagos. They can’t steal votes here, therefore, protect, defend, and escort your votes.
“Make sure your votes are entered, make sure your results are announced, if you do that no Jupiter will come and change your votes.
“You are winning next week, do you agree? ‘Edo no be Lagos,” the former Vice President said at the parked ground.
