Benin City, Edo state – Godwin Obaseki, the incumbent governor of Edo, on Sunday, September 22, said he visited the state collation centre to get first-hand information about the process supervised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Obaseki spoke during a briefing by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organisation for the Edo state governorship election 2024.
Some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had accused Obaseki of ‘laying siege on the office of the resident electoral commission for hours ostensibly out of desperation’.
But reacting, Obaseki said he visited the INEC office because the agency “had refused to put any information in the public domain.”
Obaseki explained:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that amid an anxious wait for the Edo governorship election result, the governorship candidate of the PDP in the state, Asue Ighodalo, accused INEC of compromise.
The Edo governorship hopeful asserted that there is a “desperation for power by those who have nothing to offer the people of this country”.
