According to Punch Newspaper, the Edo State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Anthony Aziegbemi, said, “The Presidency has released a sum of $2m to compromise officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, security operatives, and to buy votes. As part of the evil ploy, security chiefs have been ordered to make heavy deployments to the strongholds of the PDP, especially those of Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, and our party’s candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, with the plan to destabilize the voting process in those areas. Some of the polling unit, registration area, and ward electoral officials have been discovered to be card-carrying members of the APC.”
Anthony Aziegbemi added that the Gubernatorial Candidate from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Asue Ighodalo, was poised for victory and would secure at least 70 percent of the votes on election day. He also urged the President of Nigeria, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu that he must realize that keeping Edo State and Nigeria safe and peaceful was his primary responsibility, and he must not allow the fear that his party will lose the forthcoming Governorship poll in the State to lead him to disrupt peace and security of Edo State.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
