INEC yesterday issued a Certificate of Return to the winner of the election, GODWIN OBASEKI of the All Progressives Congress.
And a day after that exercise, leaders and supporters of PDP marched on the streets of Benin City in protest over the victory of the APC candidate.
The demonstration was led by PDP governorship candidate, OSAGIE IZE-IYAMU and other chieftains of the Edo PDP.
However; INEC National Commissioner in charge of Publicity and Voters Education, Prince SOLOMON SOYEBI reacted from faraway in Kaduna State.
You will recall that Prince SOYEBI was on ground in Edo State during the governorship election on 28th of September during which he handled all the publicity issues.
The INEC official maintained that the governorship election was free and fair, and dismissed claims of rigging.
You will also recall that the APC in Edo State recently threatened to expose rigging by PDP if the case goes to the election tribunal.
