PDP to protest outcome of Edo election
Politics
THE Director General of the Asue/Ogie Campaign Council, Hon Matthew Iduoriyekemwen early Sunday morning protested the just concluded governorship election saying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would protest the outcome which is being skewed in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Sen Monday Okpebholo.
While journalists and some party agents were waiting at the Conference Hall in the Independent National Electoral Commission’s office to announce the results, protesters about 20 stormed the entrance gate of INEC.
Iduoriyekemwen said the PDP was cruising to victory. Still, the information available to them showed that there were plans to mutilate the final results that would reflect the wishes of the voters.
He also alleged that the leader of the APC in the state, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and reinstated deputy governor of the state Philip Shaibu were thumb-printing ballot papers to close the gap with which they were leading.
“We will not accept this, we will contest it,” he said this at about 2:27 am when He led the protesters to the venue.
They have since been dispersed by the police shortly after speaking to journalists through the barricade. –vanguard
