Briefing Journalists In Benin City, the State Publicity Secretary, Chris Nehikhare, said "the PDP has uncovered and formally reported to relevant authorities the various plans by the APC to compromise the forthcoming election through the duplication and mass-production of the Permernent Voter Cards (PVC) which they intended to give to their agents and thugs to vote with".

Nehikhare said "the PDP looks forward to seeing these security agencies act to the effect of arresting individuals involved in this act capable of affecting the true wish of the people".

On the ongoing campaign, the PDP SPS said "our ward to ward campaign strategy is yielding positive responses as only four wards of the entire Edo North is left to be covered".  

According to him, "the Governor Obaseki's ward to ward campaign has rattled the APC to the extent that they are left with no other option than to create tension in the polity".

Nehikhare said "the Edo People's Democratic Party (PDP) campaign train headed by Governor Godwin Obaseki will on Monday move to Edo Central, the traditional home of the PDP where the governor will reassure his people of Esan land of continued government patronage in infrastructure, health, job creation among others."
