He said that the election was very vital for, not just the state, but the country at large, as the decision had to be made whether or not the state should move forward.
Describing Edo Central Senatorial District of the state as a PDP enclave, he urged members of the party and its supporters not to succumb to threats and intimidation.
He said that the state and Nigeria did not belong to a few people.
