THE general conduct of the main actors and their supporters in the buildup to the governorship election in Edo State coming up in about 48 hours from now leaves much to be desired. Admittedly, the strategic importance of the Edo election is that it is a precursor to the October 10 governorship poll in Ondo, as well as similar elections in Anambra and Osun states in 2022. That the Edo election also signposts preparations for the 2023 general election is not in doubt. The credibility of the Edo poll is certainly predicated on a display of diligence, professionalism, independence and neutrality of the security operatives and the electoral commission. | edo decides | edo decides | edo decides |edo decides
