Oshiomhole said the outcome of the Saturday, September 21 governorship election represented the will of the Edo people.
The former Edo state governor said Obaseki's do-or-die affair threat did not stop the people from voting for the APC candidate.
He stated this while speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Monday, September 23.
Reacting to Obaseki’s do-or-die affairs, he said the APC subscribed to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s saying that no election is worth the blood of any Nigerian.
“You have Obaseki, I watched him on Channels insisting it was do-or-die. And when you asked him, he said, if they did, then they would be dead. Now the people have done it. I guess he is politically dead.
“The people have decided that Monday who was elected last year as a senator, has been elected; and now has been declared the governor-elect.”
