The Edo State PDP has raised alarm
that it has uncovered a plot whereby the rigging of the Edo State Governorship
Election is being coordinated by three highly placed INEC officials.
The three INEC officials allegedly
involved in this plot are, Mrs. Amina Zakari, an INEC national; Mrs. Imoudu
Sule, Edo State INEC PRO; The Delta State REC; and the national Deputy Director
of Operations.
Making the allegation at a press
conference in Benin City, the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Chris
Nehikhare stated that the plot was under the supervision of Amina Zakari,
through the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Delta State.
The PDP spokesman alleged that Mrs
Imoudu Sule is in charge of the disbursement of compromise money to selected
local government electoral officers. He said that so far, Mrs. Sule has
distributed two million naira each to nine electoral officers whose local
government results are being written before ballots are cast, to favour the
ruling APC.
Mr. Nehikhare, while telling the public
to take note said that the PDP will resist any attempt by the ruling party to
subvert the will of the people by any engagement in the substitution of
electoral materials. He warned that nobody should act in way that would
precipitate anarchy.
