The All Progressives Congress has been accused of plotting to stoke up violence that will compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to suspend the Edo State governorship election till November.
The governor explained that the APC had concluded plans to capitalise on the assertion of the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, that the commission would stop the election in the event of violence, by creating an atmosphere for mayhem. “We know this system. Knowing well that if the election is suspended by September 19, according to them as regards to violence, they cannot do that election again in September. October is Ondo election, so they will give excuse that they are conducting Ondo election. By November, Obaseki’s tenure would have ended. So you see the calculation,” Wike said.
Addressing journalists in Benin City yesterday, the president, Dr. Felix Omobude, lamented the unhealthy political tension in the state amid rising insecurity in the country.
