#EdoDecides: Ighodalo accuses INEC, police of compromise over Edo results

Amid an anxious wait for the Edo governorship election result, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Asue Ighodalo, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of compromise.

Topnaija.ng reports that Ighodalo stated this on Sunday morning, September 22, in an interview with Super FM Benin.

The Edo governorship hopeful asserted that there is a “desperation for power by those who have nothing to offer the people of this country”.

Ighalo said, “There are too many things going on all of a sudden. There seems to be INEC complicity, police complicity working together. And this cannot be right for democracy in this country. They are trying to subvert the will of the people of Edo state, and it will not happen. By God’s grace, it cannot happen. Edo state people would stand and fight for their rights.

“All of a sudden, see all these funny results coming out of Edo north. It doesn’t make sense. How do you have the full numbers of accredited voters or people who took PVCs when you know averagely, it’s 25 percent to 28 percent for a good election of people that turn up for the election out of those that are truly accredited? All of a sudden, they are having 90 percent, 100 percent?”
