of voters and collaboration of INEC and
the state government to doctor the

Central, Esan West LGA, Orhionmwon
LGA, Esan South East LGA, Esan North
East LGA.
Earlier, some protesters contested 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.
