In Benin City, Edo State, the police are allegedly planning to collaborate with compromised officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to manipulate the upcoming election results.

Despite a recent disruption by military forces, the police remain determined to complete their mission.

According to reports, the police intend to protect compromised INEC officials from falsifying election results and announce them prematurely, regardless of the ongoing voting process.

During an emergency meeting held in Benin, it was revealed that some law enforcement officers had suffered a setback the previous day when military personnel intervened.

This disruption occurred as the police reportedly attempted to protect thugs involved in stealing election materials.

The incident, which took place in Oredo Local Government Area—one of the largest LGAs in Edo State, with almost 400,000 registered voters—saw hoodlums attacking the local INEC office in a bid to compromise election materials.

However, military forces responded quickly, apprehending some of the armed assailants and restoring order.

A similar scenario was also reported in Etsako West Local Government Area, according to an interview with an INEC national commissioner on Channels Television.

The commissioner disclosed that thugs had also tried to infiltrate INEC operations in the region.

In light of these developments, Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Benneth Igweh, who is overseeing election duties in Edo State, convened a critical meeting with police officers in Benin.

AIG Igweh, who also serves as the AIG in charge of Zone 7, was reportedly clear about the mission at hand, stating that their objective must be achieved.

He addressed his men with a strong directive, asking those unwilling to participate in the mission to step aside.

The agenda of the meeting was reportedly focused on organizing cover for thugs who are expected to disrupt collation centres, allowing for the replacement of authentic election results with fabricated ones.

The ultimate plan, as revealed, is to announce fraudulent results in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC), even if the election process remains incomplete.

It is believed that after the announcement, aggrieved parties will be directed to seek legal recourse in court.

The alleged plot also involves collaboration with other security operatives who have been brought in to assist with the election process, raising concerns about the integrity of the forthcoming elections in Edo State.

Despite the challenges posed by military interventions, the police, under AIG Igweh’s leadership, appear resolute in their intent to see the plan through, sparking fears of a compromised election outcome.

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.

Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.

“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.

According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”

He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
