The All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo chapter on Sunday rejected the result of the Edo Governorship Election announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Benin on Sunday.
Mr John Mayaki, Chairman of the Edo APC Media Campaign Council said,that the party rejected the result, citing alleged strong-arm tactics in the process.
“Our people were arbitrarily arrested, many of the figures were fabricated. “Areas where we won, they cancelled them, they decreased the votes in areas we had an advantage. They rejected our results and jerked up theirs,” Mayaki said.
According to him the local party members who would have countered the manipulations were arbitrarily arrested.
He Went further to state that, “Obaseki shouted that he was being rigged out and blamed INEC at the initial stage but that was to divert attention from the evil going on in the field,” Mayaki said.
He later thanked the APC supporter and told them to stay calm as the party leaders are still studying the results and will soon announce their decision and action to be taken.
