Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, has promised to concede defeat if he loses the election fairly and squarely.
Asue Ighodalo stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
But he said that based on his assessment, he would win the election.
He urged the people in the state to come out and vote, assuring them that they would be safe.
Ighodalo said that only Edo people would decide who becomes their next governor.
He said, “The first question my daughter asked me the day I told her I am conceding. She said daddy you are not used to losing. I don’t think you have ever lost. If you lose this, how will you take it?
“Honesty if we lose this election and we know we lost it fairly and squarely, I will be the first to concede. But I know we cannot lose this election if the playing field is levelled. We cannot lose this election.
“We have related well with the people of Edo State. We told the people of Edo State what we will do for them and they trust us. They will vote for us. I know at a level playing field, we will win.”
