We'll Scuttle APC Plans to Rig Edo Election, Says Wike - THISDAYLIVE

Court fixes date for suit seeking Ize-Iyamu’s disqualificationAThe Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party National Campaign Council for Edo Governorship Election and Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike, has said the council will scuttle alleged plans by the All Progressives Congress to use security agencies to rig the September 19 governorship poll in Edo State.

Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, Wike said the APC was confident about winning because it wanted to rig. “Obaseki is morally qualified and stands out as the best candidate for the September 19, 2020 election. “In 2015, people supported him for the governorship, when he failed, he did not consult them but abandoned them for another party.

“We consider the comment by INEC to cancel or suspend the election because of violence as succumbing to the antics of the APC. “The inane speculation cannot hold water, as we stand to gain no further advantage should Mr. Obaseki leave office.”The Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, yesterday adjourned till August 24, hearing in a suit seeking the disqualification of Ize-Iyamu and Ganiyu from the September 19 poll.

The plaintiffs are asking the court to disqualify Ganiyu from participating in the forthcoming election on account of giving false information to INEC in aid of his qualification for the governorship poll. In a 41-paragraph affidavit deposed to in support of the suit, the plaintiffs averred that Ganiyu contravened provisions of the electoral laws by providing false information and lying on oath in his form CF 001 he submitted to INEC in support of his qualification for the September 19 governorship election in Edo State.
