The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has formally rejected the results of the Edo State governorship election as announced on Sunday night by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The party’s acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum, announced this during a media briefing in Abuja, on Monday.
He insisted that the people of Edo State voted for the PDP’s candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo and expected nothing less than him being declared the governor-elect.
Damagum charged the INEC to use the window left in the Electoral Act to do the right thing by retracing its steps.
According to him, the PDP had raised the alarm of plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC), working in cohorts with “the compromised INEC and the AIG of Police in charge of the zone,” to manipulate the process long before they executed their plot”.
