APC, Oshiomhole Planning To Rig Edo Guber Election - PDP

Edo State PDP has raised the alarm that the the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Governor Adams Oshiomhole was working on a plan to rig the September 10 governorship election in the state, calling on government institutions and security agencies to beware and not work with the APC in subverting the will of the Edo people.

At campaign rally for the party’s governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, in Uzebba, Owan West Local Government Area, the party also challenged Oshiomhole to tell Edo people how much a company, Afrinvest, owned by the APC governorship candidate, Godwin Obaseki, has invested in the the Edo University, Iyamho (EUI).

He said it was morally wrong for Oshiomhole to use unappropriated funds to build the EUI in his hometown, accusing the governor of spending over N18 billion on the university, and was planning to hand over power to Obaseki.

State chairman of the PDP, Dan Orbih, who made the remark, said Governor Oshiomhole has boasted that he was working on a plan to perfect the rigging of the election in conjunction with INEC officials, police, army and other security agencies.
