PDP Accuses APC of Plot to Disrupt Edo Election and Alter Results
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised concerns over an alleged plan by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to disrupt the collation of results in the Edo State governorship election.
According to the PDP, the APC intends to deploy armed thugs to storm collation centres, interfere with the process, and alter the results, where the PDP’s candidate, Dr Asue Ighodalo, is reportedly in the lead.
The PDP claims it has uncovered attempts by the APC to pressure both the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman and the Edo State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) into halting the collation.
This, they say, is a bid to manipulate the results on the INEC Portal by replacing the true figures from polling units with falsified ones favouring the APC.
Furthermore, the PDP asserts that the APC is pushing for the military to pull back its forces, which would allow the APC to bring in its thugs to disrupt the process.
The PDP warned that any attempt to alter the results could have severe consequences, pointing to past incidents like the violent protests following the controversial 2023 governorship election in Adamawa State.
The party urged INEC to resist these pressures and ensure the integrity of the election results, warning that any tampering could provoke unrest.
They also commended the military for its role in maintaining order and urged them not to yield to the APC’s demands.
Finally, the PDP called on the people of Edo State to remain vigilant and closely monitor the collation process to safeguard their votes.

“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”

The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me.
