Although collation is still ongoing at the office of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has rejected the result of the Edo state governorship election.
Addressing
reporters at his Benin residence, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the
PDP, described the results being announced by INEC as a “rape of
democracy”.
Ize-Iyamu said his party monitored the the election through its agents across the state.
“Contrary
to claim that PDP brought in 8,000 militants, the election showed that
PDP is law-abiding
and did not involve in illegality. The delays in
announcing official result by INEC was in order to announce
predetermined fabricated results,” he said.
“The Figures being
announced by INEC do not represent the massive turnout. We have told our
agents to bring all the results issued at the polling units. We do not
want to rely on the messages they sent.
“In the next three or four days, will have complete record. From findings, it is clear a lot of manipulation has taken place.”
