Asue Ighodalo, the governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, has declared that he will accept defeat and congratulate the winner if the ongoing election is conducted fairly.
This statement was made following his ballot casting at his polling unit in Idinro, Okaegben, Ewohimi, on Saturday.
Ighodalo emphasized his commitment to a transparent electoral process, stating that he would reach out to anyone declared the victor if the election is free from irregularities.
He reiterated concerns about the alleged harassment of his supporters, who he claims have faced arrests and intimidation.
Despite these challenges, Ighodalo remains confident in his campaign, asserting that he will only concede if he loses fairly.
He expressed strong belief in his party’s connection with the electorate and their plans for governance, stating, “I know we can’t lose this election if there is a level playing field for everybody.” Further updates on the election are anticipated as the voting process unfolds.
