Although declaration of results in Wednesday’s governorship election in Edo State is still on-going with results from nine out of the 18 Council Areas so far released, supporters of the PDP are already protesting over alleged allocation of votes in some councils.
The protesters who presently gathered at the state headquarters of INEC on Aduwawa road in Benin City with placards of various inscriptions claimed to be leading as at yesterday evening but were stunned that the APC was leading in five out of the eight councils so far released.
According to some of them, the PDP won the election in all the eighteen council areas of the State, adding that the State governor, Adams Oshiomhole allegedly stormed INEC at the wee hours of today to induce the electoral body to change the figures.
Some of the inscriptions on the placards were “INEC took bribe from APC, PDP won the 2016 election,’ INEC give us our actual results,’ ‘INEC give PDP their true result’, amongst others.
The protesters mostly made of women and youths called the governor and his party, the APC unprintable names, threatening fire and brimstone if the PDP is shortchanged.
