•Umar Damagum currently addressing the Press in Abuja
The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has rejected the results of the Edo State Governorship election as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Acting National Chairman of the party Amb. Umar Damagum announced this at an ongoing media briefing in Abuja, today.
He insisted that the people of Edo State voted for the PDP’s candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo and expect nothing less than him being announced as governor-elect.
Damagum charged the INEC to use the window left in the Electoral Act to do the right thing by retracing its steps.
According to him, the PDP had raised the alarm of plans by the All Progressives Congress, APC, working in cohorts with “the compromised INEC and the AIG of Police in charge of the zone,” to manipulate the process long before they executed their plot”.
