Speaking at the final rally of the PDP’s gubernatorial campaign in Ekemwan, Abubakar emphasized that Edo State is not like Lagos, where, he claimed, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has manipulated elections. He urged the residents to safeguard their votes to ensure a fair election and prevent any potential rigging.

The former Vice President also urged the people of the state to protect their votes to avoid rigging.
