The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday rejected the result of the state governorship election announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Chairman of Edo APC media campaign council John Mayaki said in a statement that the party rejected the result on allegations of irregularities.
“Our people were arbitrarily arrested, many of the figures were fabricated. Areas where we won, they cancelled them, they decreased the votes in areas we had advantage. They rejected our results and jerked up theirs,” Mr Mayaki said on Sunday.
“Obaseki shouted that he was being rigged out and blamed INEC at the initial stage but that was to divert attention from the evil going on in the field.”
He, however, thanked the APC loyalists for the support and urged them to remain calm as the party leaders were studying the result and would soon announce their decision and course of action.
