Meanwhile, the Rivers State Governor and National Chairman of the Edo State Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nyesom Wike, says his party “don’t want to hear inconclusive” in respect of the Edo Election Results.
Afriupdate understands that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun announcing Edo state governorship Election Results and the PDP is leading the All Progressives Congress (APC) with 57,075 votes.
As at 5:50 am, INEC has declared results in 12 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Edo.
“We have results from about 2,000 polling units from the various wards and from the intelligence we have gathered, I do believe that INEC will keep to that promise of being transparent,” Wike said hours after the poll.
“But we are getting a bit worried that INEC said they have 700 unit results which is [sic] not correct and that calls for concern. We don’t believe that INEC has only 700. It is more than 2,000 that we have.
“Again, as we speak, they ought to have moved to the ward collation centres before they move to the local government collation centres. But we cannot find the security personnel around the ward collation centres and that gives us concern.
“Why is it that the security personnel are not at the ward collation centres? So, I urge the Inspector-General of Police to move his men to the ward collation centres.
“They must not allow miscreants to disrupt the electoral process. I believe that the commission will continue with what they have done.
“Like we have said, we don’t want this election to be inconclusive. This is the critical stage where you may see disruptions and then it will be declared inconclusive. INEC should fulfil its promise that this election will be transparent. We don’t want to hear inconclusive.”
Wike was speaking during an interview in the Edo 2020 Situation Room streamed on his party member, Governor Godwin Obaseki’s Youtube Channel and monitored by this reporter.
Edo election is apparently a straight fight between incumbent Obaseki of the PDP and Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the APC.
