Edo decides: I’m being rigged out – Gov Obaseki cries out

 

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has alleged that he’s being rigged in the ongoing gubernarial election in the state.

Obaseki, who spoke through Crusoe Osagie, his Special Adviser said that “there is deliberate election manipulation in areas where he has strongholds.

Obaseki is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the incumbent Governor of Edo State.

According to him: “Suddenly card readers are not working in areas where Governor Godwin Obaseki is very popular.

“Voters are being disenfranchised and we are constrained to say that this is sabotage.

“Specifically, in Oredo Ward 1, Unit 20 and other places where the Governor is clearly popular, the card readers are not working.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should prove to Edo voters that it can conduct a credible election in Edo State.”
