The PDP candidate alleged inducement

of voters and collaboration of INEC and

the state government to doctor the

results being announced, alleging that

the results are not a reflection of what

transpired at the polling units.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives

Congress (APC), has described the

rejection of the state governorship

election results by the Peoples

Democratic Party (PDP) as quote; an act

of a bad loser.

Chairman of the Edo State APC Chapter,

the Mr Anselm Ojezua, says the entire

process of the election had been

nothing but peaceful. he adds that

though the announcement of the results

is still ongoing, he commends INEC so

far.

in the delivery of materials to ensure

that they got to locations on time.

PDP to channel its grievances to the

appropriate quarters.
