Election ‘ll decide Nigeria’s future, says former Edo Dep Gov
The former Deputy Governor of Edo state , Rev. Peter Obadan, said the conduct of the governorship election in Osun State may decide the future of Nigeria.
Obadan, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress of Nigeria (APC) stated this in an interview with newsmen yesterday in Benin.
He expressed fear that should the wish of the people be subverted, it may spell doom in the state and the 2015 general election.
He urged the Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega to ensure a level playing field for the political parties and their
candidates in the poll.
He noted that the activities of the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the state have already heightened tension ahead of the August 9 election.
He noted that the APC as a party was not unmindful of what the PDP is capable of doing in order to emerge victorious in the poll.
He urged the political parties, participating in the governorship election, to play by the rule for peace to reign in the state.
