•Urges Edo Residents to Protect Votes, Says “No Jupiter Will Change Your Votes”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) against attempting to manipulate the upcoming governorship election in Edo State.
Atiku, who was in Edo State to support the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, emphasized that the state will not tolerate electoral fraud.
Atiku declared, “Edo State is not like Lagos, where the APC can orchestrate electoral fraud. We showed them four years ago that Edo State won’t be rigged, and we’ll show them again. Protect your votes, defend them, and escort them. Make sure your votes are entered and results announced. No Jupiter will come and change your votes.”
This statement comes as Edo State prepares for the governorship election on September 21.

The former VP’s emphasis on protecting votes and preventing rigging is a call to action for the citizens of Edo State to ensure their voices are heard.
