The Edo State chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Odion Olaye, has threatened dire and brimstone should the September 21, governorship election in the state not go his way.

In a video trending online, Olaye was captured threatening that Edo State would go up in flame should the electoral body not declare his preferred candidate as the winner of the governorship polls.

While campaigning in Egor, Benin city for the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Asue Ighodalo, the NLC chairman said he was certain of his candidate’s victory.

Making his predictions, Olaye said Egor City will be largely won by the PDP.

He said, “I want to assure you that PDP, our party, is going to win Egor 80 percent come 21st of this month and on 22nd of this month, they must declare Asue Ighodalo the winner.

“If they refuse to do that, Edo state will burn,” Olaye said in the video.
