The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the ongoing governorship election in Edo State, Olumide Akpata, has cast his vote.
Akpata on Saturday morning cast his vote at his polling unit at Ward 06, Oredo Local Government Area (LGA) of Edo.
After voting, Akpata spoke to journalists about his observation of the process.
He said he would verify all feedback from other parts of the state before issuing a statement.
“We are getting some concerning feedback from across the state but I’m not the kind of person that will make any statement until I verify. We will be observing the process,” he said.
The lawyer had on Friday evening debunked reports claiming that he had stepped down from contesting the governorship election.
“Let me be unequivocally clear: I AM STILL IN THE RACE,” the LP gubernatorial candidate said in a post he shared on his official X account.
“The notion that I would step down on the eve of the election, after the overwhelming support received from the good people of our State, borders on delusion.”
