PDP Supporters Protest INEC Office Over Edo Election Results
A group of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters gathered outside the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Benin City, Edo State, voicing their discontent over the recent governorship election.
Armed with placards displaying various messages and chanting in unity, the protesters demanded that INEC revisit and overturn the election results.
INEC had previously declared Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, as the victor of the election.
However, PDP members have strongly opposed this announcement, alleging that the process was tainted with irregularities.
They specifically pointed to incidents of vote buying and manipulation at specific polling stations, claiming that these actions distorted the true outcome of the election.
The protesters are calling for a thorough investigation into these alleged malpractices, insisting that the election results do not reflect the true will of the people.
They remain adamant that the election was not free and fair and are urging INEC to address their concerns, pushing for a transparent review of the entire process.
The protests have intensified the ongoing political tension, with both parties standing firm in their respective claims about the fairness of the election.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
