Omobude, who is also the general superintendent, Gospel Light International Ministry (GLIM) – New Covenant Gospel Church (NCGC) made the call in a statement issued in Benin, yesterday.
In a statement by his media aide, Deacon Ralph Okhiria, the PFN president was quoted as saying “the election of any politician is not worthy of the blood or life of any resident of the state.
“My dear good people of Edo State, I identify and join my voice to the many other good citizens of the state to call for peace during this governorship election scheduled for Saturday.
“The contestants have traversed the length and breadth of the state and have told us what they intend to do and can do. It is now our duty to make our choices and then come out boldly to exercise our franchise.
“I want to call on you to do what is right. Don’t give yourself to violence, don’t allow your children to be used for violent activities.
