The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has rejected the result of the Saturday governorship election in Edo State,vvowing to challenge the outcome in court.
The PDP acting National Chairman Amb. Umar Damagum announced this in a media briefing in Abuja, on Monday.
He said the people of Edo State voted for the PDP’s candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo and expect nothing less than him being announced as 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”.
