Observers and political analysts have raised alarm over the electoral irregularities that characterized the Edo election.
Aye noted that despite the recent amendments to the Electoral Act and the introduction of technology aimed at reducing human interference in the electoral process, many of these problems persisted.
He said:
In a scathing critique of APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje’s remarks about replicating the “Edo election strategy” in other states, Aye called the approach “shameful” and detrimental to democracy.
According to him:
Aye expressed concerns over Nigeria’s democratic process, adding that the country’s elections have not delivered the desired outcomes due to ongoing irregularities.
He said:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that tension flared in the Okpella community, Edo state, following Governor Godwin Obaseki’s appointment of Lukman Akemokhue as the new Okuogbellagbe of Okpella.
Community leaders, elders, and residents protested, denouncing the appointment as an imposition that disregards long-established traditions.
The protest erupted a day after the Edo state government officially presented Akemokhue with a letter of appointment at the Ministry of Local Government.
