The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies aided and abetted the irregularities that marred the last Saturday Edo State governorship election.
The party described the election as the worst poll ever conducted by the electoral umpire and expressed concern that electoral body and the security agencies provided the cover for the massive irregularities.
Rev. Olu Martins, the Deputy Director-General, Media and Publicity, of the Asue/Ogie Campaign Council Management disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Benin.
According to Martins, the INEC made the election a must win for the APC following its actions and inactions.
He faulted the electoral body and the security agencies for providing the cover for the massive irregularities that took place at the collation process at the INEC State collation centre.
Martins noted that the election was going on free, fair, and credible at the ward and Local government levels until INEC and the security agencies became interested parties in the election when it moved collation to the INEC State collation office.
He added that President Bola Tinubu’s body language and comments ahead of the Edo governorship election were not unconnected with the rape of democracy perpetuated during the September 21st governorship election, which he described as a sham and shame.
The PDP chieftain disclosed that the party was already consulting and putting things together to know the next line of action.
