While Senator Ordia, insisted that the APC had zero chance in his voting demographic and was frightened into working out a delay, Senator Francis Alimikhena on his part released the case with his attestation that Edo remained an APC state.

"In my Senatorial District, APC has no way. We have set up everything to checkmate arranges by APC to fix. We will oppose it. We realize that the APC is edgy, and they are doing everything to disappoint voters, yet it won't work" Ordia told Vanguard.

"The APC knew they were going to lose the race, and they chose to move the decision. Regardless of the fact that they need to move it by another year, PDP will even now win. APC has zero chance in Edo state. Edo is a PDP state, and we will demonstrate that amid the decision. "I need to likewise approach INEC and security offices. They should keep up lack of bias amid the decision. They ought not permit themselves to be utilized. They should know guarantee that voters are not irritated or thumped. "I need to similarly alert security offices not to be utilized too to grab polling stations. I am making this call since we have seen or heard cases in the past where security organizations purportedly schemed with INEC authorities to deny Nigerians their voting rights."

Representative Alimikhena on his part rejected the cases by PDP that APC is perplexed saying:

"That is the promulgation of the PDP that was at that point down before the delay. I have let you know that Edo State is APC. We were one hundred and one percent prepared for the race. It was the report of the DSS and the Police that said security was not great for the decision.

"You will comprehend that quickly after the delay, a few hooligans of PDP were captured and some are as yet being researched. We were prepared for it; it was not the flaw of the APC. APC did not ask for delay; it was the security report that prompted the deferment."

On affirmations that the APC was frightened of Ize-Iyamu having worked with Governor Adams Oshiomhole previously, Senator Alimikhena said, " No, that he worked with the legislative leader of the state before doesn't imply that individuals are tailing him. We are conversing with the general population, and I can let you know that his adherents are for the APC. That he worked with him doesn't mean anything, in light of the fact that the race is limited, one vote and he is the main individual that left the APC, the rest of the general population didn't tail him. The dominant part of such individuals are still in the APC. What does he even need? The general population have as of now said that it is APC they need."

The third congressperson from the state, Senator Matthew Urhoghide speaking to Edo South who has a place with the PDP was not accessible in Abuja for a meeting as he has since moved to Edo State, being the chief general of the Ize-Iyamu Campaign Organization.
