Edo 2020 Election Alert.
All the leaders of our great party in Benin City are hereby requested to make their way to the INEC office in Ramat Park, Benin City.
The INEC office has taken and unexplained break in the announcement of results as it concerns Orhionmwon LGA and Ovia South West LGA.
We are aware that the Collation officers for these LGAs are in the INEC with the result sheets, copies of which are with our agents.
Edo people will not tolerate any manipulation which INEC and its staff appear to be planning.
The mandate kindly and decisively given to Governor Godwin Obaseki by the good people of Edo State must not be compromised, subverted or toyed with.
We therefore demand for the immediate release of the result of these two local government areas.
The patience and resolve of Edo people must not tempered with.
Signed
Chief Dan Osi Orbih
Chairman Edo 2020 Campaign Council.
