The successor of Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki will be elected on September 21 by 2,629,025 voters, provided they collect Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
This was made known yesterday at Edo State headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at Aduwawa, Benin by INEC’s Supervising National Commissioner for Edo, Delta and Cross River states, Prof. Rhoda Gumus.
