“In Abia State, we didn’t sleep for four days. If you sleep, they will steal your votes.
“After voting, young people should stay behind at polling units to ensure the protection of the votes.
“Follow the results from the units to the wards, the local government, and the state collation centers,” Otti said.
The Abia governor also showed faith in Akpata and his running mate, Yusuf Kadiri, affirming that they constituted the most capable duo to govern Edo.
