Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not declare the Edo State Governorship election as “inconclusive”.
Wike, who heads the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Campaign Council, said this in a press briefing on Sunday in Benin, the Edo State capital.
“You have noticed the pattern from 16 of the 18 local governments. But it was shocking to us that the returning officer for Orhionmwon, after the wards and local government have been collated, came to the state and before we knew it, he disappeared,” Wike said.
“Remember I said yesterday (Saturday), INEC should not try to declare this election as inconclusive.
“We will not accept it because everyone knows who has won this election.”
Governor Godwin Obaseki of the PDP is in poll position to win from the 16 LGAs declared so far.
The incumbent has garnered 288,572 votes against 202,525 by APC’s Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
