Some believe that the election will be won through ‘Federal Might’. Others also believe in the power of incumbency in the state where elections will be held.
In Edo State, there are concerns about political godfathers, vote-buying, and security threats. Citizens worry that their votes may not count or that they may face reprisals for voting for the ‘wrong’ candidate. Justice Kekere-Ekun said with the results from the 388 polling units added, Uzodimma polled a majority of the lawful votes and ought to have been declared the winner of the election by INEC.
The court held that Oshiomhole scored the highest number of votes in the April 14, 2007 governorship poll, meeting the constitutional requirements. The Edo Election Petition Tribunal had earlier declared Oshiomhole the winner of the election, with 166,577 votes against Osunbor’s 129,117. However, though, there are reasons to be optimistic about the Edo 2024 election. To ensure that every citizen can cast their vote freely, it is essential to educate voters about their rights and responsibilities, encourage peaceful and issue-based campaigning, support INEC’s efforts to improve the electoral process and citizens must report any cases of electoral malpractice when and where they occur.

Ezemonye added Igbinedion University is committed to embarking on major research breakthroughs, particularly through innovation and collaboration.
