The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, in Edo State governorship election, Asue Ighodalo, has decried that the election could be the worst election in Nigeria’s history due to numerous alleged irregularities.

Ighodalo said this during a live press conference on Sunday, organised by the Edo PDP National Campaign Council, which was chaired by Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri.

The event, which also has in attendance the outgoing governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki, concentrated on allegations of manipulation by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Ighodalo said, “From our perspective, the way these elections are going, they are probably going to be the worst elections in the history of this country.

“We have information for instance, where we have over 20 polling units where the accredited voters are less than the total votes which is not possible.

“We have over 20 polling units from the results that were announced yesterday where from their accredited voters, the total votes that they’ve now announced are more than the accredited voters.”
