The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of the Edo governorship election held on Wednesday, ahead of the announcement of the outcome.

The party rejected the results in a press conference addressed by its Chairman in the state, Mr Dan Orbih,on Thursday in Benin.

The press conference was also attended the party’s governorship candidate in the election, Mr Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

Both the party and it’s candidate said they rejected the results because they were “fabricated and a pre-determined” by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Edo Government.

INEC was announcing the results of the poll as at the time of filing this report.

Orbih said that the results as they were being announced by the INEC, were at a complete variance with what the party got from it agents and independent observers.

He alleged that the two-week extension of the poll by the electoral body was to allow for more time to perfect the manipulation of the process.

“You will recall that our state Publicity Secretary had briefed the press less than 48 hours to the elections on what is playing out now.

“If you go by the results that were announced at the polling units and wards across the state, it shows that PDP would have won by over 30,000 votes.

“What INEC is announcing is clearly different from what we got from our agents and independent observers in the 192 wards and over 2,000 units across the state.

“We are rejecting these results as they were being announced by INEC and we are coming out early enough to make this known,”he said.

The chairman said the cancellation of some results on the basis of failed card reader was part of a deliberate plan to also manipulate the poll.

He alleged that the areas were results were canceled were stronghold of the PDP.

“I wonder what the Incident Form is for. Voters should not be made to suffer unduly for the inefficiency of card readers,” he said.

He said the results as were being announced by INEC, were clearly at variance with the widely acclaimed voter- turnout that was also acknowledged by the electoral umpire itself.

On his part, the governorship candidate said he aligned himself with the position of the party.

“The results are not a true reflection of what happened in the field. The INEC only played a script written by the Government of Edo,” he said.

Wailing Wailers..... Meanwhile

Sheriff not in support of PDP’s rejection of Edo election result

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/edo-election-sheriff-indifferent-pdps-rejection-result/

Disputed National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, said he did not support Thursday’s rejection of the yet-to-be-declared result of Wednesday’s governorship election in Edo.

He said that the rejection of the result ahead of its declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was preemptive.

PDP in Edo, at a news conference in Benin, announced its rejection of the result of the governorship poll.

Chairman of the party in the state, Chief Dan Orbih, who addressed the media, alleged that the outcome of the exercise had been pre-determined by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

At the time of the news conference, collation of results of the election was ongoing at INEC secretariat in Benin.

Speaking on behalf of Sheriff, Deputy National Chairman of his faction of the party, Dr Cairo Ojougboh, said, “we will await the final announcement of the result, consult widely before making our decision public”.

He said the national leadership was concerned about issues arising from the election, and called for restraint from members and supporters.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Dayo Adeyeye, had in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday warned that the party would reject the result of the government poll if the antics of APC continued.

He accused the Edo Government of sponsoring massive irregularities in the election.

Sore losers.

Ize-Iyamu and his gang of pained losers know the rules of the election. If they are not satisfied with the outcome, they should approach the tribunal for redress and stop this silly drama.

na soo ,we don hear. we shall see to it.

Edo voters are very gullible

NgeneUkwenu:
Ok

it doesn't mean that the certificateless cattle rearer won't be voted out come 2019

When election results at unit and ward levels don't tally with results at collation centres, then have it at the back of your mind that massive rigging abracadabra has taken place.
Fact that INEC restricted journalist from collation centre last night gives credence to the allegation that ''massive rigging was ochestrated at 12:00am last night''.

Nigeria must stop conducting election that mean nothing

At this stage the ground is getting ripe for a military coup

There is no need conducting elections that don't represent the will of the people

You might say of rivers..

But bayelsa election was not rigged..the rigging in bayelsa was attempted by silva which backfired and drew sentiments for pdp..
Many other sentiment played out in bayelsa state election.
