INEC Begins Edo Election Result Collation, Warns Against Disruptions
INEC has reported that results from the Edo State governorship election are being collated.
The INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal has been activated, and Polling Unit results are uploaded.
Collation has also been completed for the 192 Wards, and most Local Government Areas have finished collation as well.
The designated officials are either already at the collation centre in Benin City or on their way, with State-level collation about to begin.
INEC also expressed concern over a reported threat to their office in Okpoba Okha Local Government Area, which caused a stampede that left one official injured.
INEC further condemned the demonstrations by political actors and their supporters at the State Head Office, calling the actions unnecessary and warning that no one will be allowed to disrupt the process or benefit from lawlessness.
INEC emphasized that the collation process will follow the Electoral Act 2022, and there is a mechanism to address complaints during collation, including the power to review results declared under duress.
INEC assured that they would use these powers if necessary.
INEC has also urged that accredited party agents, observers, and media be given unrestricted access to all collation centres.
Security agencies have been called upon to maintain the same level of professionalism as seen during the peaceful election.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
