Edo guber: I have details of APC’s plans to make poll inconclusive – Ize-Iyamu

Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has cautioned those he claimed are planning to rig the elections not to contemplate such saying that a meeting of APC henchmen reportedly held last Friday to manipulate the elections were open to him.

Ize-Iyamu speaking through his Campaign Organization said the plan involved using security agencies and some staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to push the APC candidate through by hook or crook. He thus urged those involved to rethink as PDP members across the wards in the state are ever prepared and ready to defend their votes by ‘’any means necessary.”

The campaign organization’s assertion was in response to an alleged meeting held by the APC leaders with their Unit Heads on Friday at former Leventis House, Sokponba Road, Benin City, where according to the PDP campaign, they were said to have instructed the Unit Heads to disrupt any polling unit where the PDP candidate wins during voting and counting of ballots papers.

According to the Statement, “We have been informed by an insider at the meeting that APC leaders further warned their members that the election results must not be allowed to be declared by INEC Presiding Officers should PDP wins in any unit in the state.

‘’The insider further informed us that APC had finally given up any hope of winning the election, and they are now planning crude measures to rig the election, including making their members as INEC ad-hoc staff members. And if this is what they are planning then, they have failed because our members have been instructed to defend their votes by all means necessary.” Source: today.ng
