Anxiety as APC, PDP Governors Storm Benin in Battle for Edo State

Palpable tension engulfed Benin City monday as leaders and governors of the nation’s two main political parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), prepared to storm the Edo State capital today for the final campaigns to support their respective candidates in the gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday.

Although both parties would hold their rallies at pole ends of the capital city, residents expressed fears of possible clashes between the stalwarts of the parties that are the main contenders for the coveted post in the state.
