Edo Guber: Yiaga Africa, PDP urge INEC to resist rigging at collation centres
Politics
YIAGA Africa, an election monitoring group, and the Peoples Democratic party, PDP, have raised alarm over manipulation of the Edo State governorship election results at the LGA collation centres and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies to resist it.
While a PDP leader said that rigging was being perpetuated in collation centres, especially in Edo North, Yiaga Africa, in a post at its verified X handle, @YIAGA, said reports from its LGA centre observers “indicate disruptions in the collation process for Oredo and Ikpoba/Okha.”
It said: “Observers and INEC officials are being tear gassed in Ikpoba/Okha. We want to emphasize that collating LGA results at the state headquarters violates the established procedure for results collation .
“We urge @inecnigeria to stand firm against intimidation and interference. Electoral law permits accredited observers, media, and party agents to monitor results collaboration at all levels. Failure to address these issues risks undermining the legitimacy of what has been a peaceful process since it’s commencement.”
