Edo Election Worst Election Ever, Says Edo PDP
By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday described the just concluded governorship election in Edo State as the worst election ever conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Deputy Director-General, Media and Publicity, of the Asue/Ogie Campaign Management Council, Olu Martins, made the remark while addressing newsmen in Benin .
Martins said that the INEC made the election a must win for the APC following its actions and inactions.
He accused the electoral umpire and the security agencies for providing the cover for the massive irregularities that took place at the collation process at the INEC State collation centre.
Martins added that the election was going on free, fair, and credible at the ward level and LGAs until INEC and the security agencies became interested parties in the election when it moved collation to the INEC State collation office.
He added that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu body language and comments ahead of the governorship election were not unconnected with the rape of democracy during the September 21st governorship , which he described as a sham.
