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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
