PDP Raises Alarm Over Alleged APC Rigging Plans In Edo Gubernatorial Election

The PDP has raised alarm over an alleged plot by the APC to rig the September 10 governorship election and called on government institutions and security agencies not work with the APC in subverting the will of the Edo people. At a campaign rally for the party’s governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu,
 in Uzebba, Owan West Local Government Area, the party also challenged the outgoing governor to declare how much rights a private company allegedly close to the APC candidate, Godwin Obaseki has invested in the Edo University, Iyamho (EUI).





State chairman of the PDP, Dan Orbih, who made the remark, said state officials had lately been boasting of perfecting a plan to rig the election even as he vowed that the people of the state would like citizens of Turkey force out those who try to impose themselves on them.

He said, “President Buhari has never intervened in any election before now, so we hope Edo State will not be an exception. Nobody can use INEC, police, army or EFCC to rig the PDP out. “I want to tell Oshiomhole that Edo people are prepared to behave the way the civilian population in Turkey behaved when the soldiers marched against them.

We will resist any attempt to subvert the will of the Edo people; we stand on a very solid ground knowing fully well that Oshiomhole has failed Edo people.” Also speaking, Ize-Iyamu described as sheer wickedness the total neglect of Owan people politically and economically by the government of Oshiomhole and promised to focus his attention on the proper development of the locality if he gets elected.

He promised that a PDP government would tar the Uzebba and Okpujie township roads which he said have been abandoned, just as he promised to employ more teachers in the schools in the locality.
