It seems there is growing controversy surrounding the recent Edo State governorship election results. Supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, are protesting at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office, claiming that the election results were manipulated in favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo. The PDP is insisting that Ighodalo actually won based on polling unit results presented by their agents and the chairman of the Edo PDP National Campaign Council, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri. They are accusing INEC and security officials of colluding with the APC to alter the genuine results.
The protest highlights a significant dispute over the election's transparency and fairness, with demands for electoral justice and a review of the declared outcome.
