The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has rejected the outcome of Saturday's Edo Governorship, in which incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki was declared winner.

Igbere TV had on Sunday reported how Obaseki, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, secured 307,955 votes to defeat Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the APC candidate, who got 223, 619 votes.

In a statement forwarded to Igbere TV, Sunday, the APC alleged foul play in election, but called on party members to stay calm "while party leaders study the result and decide what is next."

In the statement signed by the Chairman of the APC Media Campaign Council, Mr. John Mayaki, rejecting the result, the APC cited alleged strong arm tactics.

"Our people were arbitrarily arrested, many of the figures were fabricated," said the terse statement, which the party said was only a preliminary reaction.

It further alleged illicit tampering with results, to shore up PDP numbers and mark down APC's.

"Areas where we won, they cancelled them.  They decreased the votes in areas we had advantage," the party further claimed. "They rejected our results and jerked up theirs."

Meanwhile, the party also claimed there was arbitrary arrest of local party members, who could have resisted the outrage, while Governor Godwin Obaseki was busy diverting attention with false alarm.

"Obaseki shouted that he was being rigged out and blamed INEC at the initial stage but that was to divert attention from the evil going on in the field", the statement said.

The party, however, told its members to stay calm, thanking them for their support, and adding that party leaders were studying the result and would announce their decision and course of action as soon as possible.

Nonsense...shame no even catch them to say something like this even after the president have commended the process..maybe they have spoken to Tanko at supreme court but God pass them

.

Don't worry APC, by 10pm this night, General Gandollar will announce fake pastor Ize-Iyamu as the authentic winner in Bourdilion in Lagos.

Truly, Edo no be Lagos!

a

E shock them

Shameless party!

They’d eventually seek redress in the court of law. Barring all imminent problem(s), Edo is officially a pdp state.

I hope this feat will be replicated come 2023 presidential elections.

Supreme court abracadabra loading.

Looking at the atmosphere... is it not evident the peoples choice won..

The godfathers are wailing

Lol

Yes we reject the election. INEC should declare the election void and null pdp rigged pastor iyamu.

We will get our mandate back at supreme court.

Thunder fire pdp and their supporters.

Hahaha.......banking on Supreme court magogo......Oshio be calming down like this Edo no be Imo


I remember Oshomole's comment after Osun election .......This life na turn by turn.....Osho can't stand the pain of riggi......sorry failure.

Ganduje and his gangs came with Kano, Kogi and Osun state rigging template. Unfortunately for them, PDP was well prepared to fustrate their plan. Weeks before the election, PDP made smart diplomatic moves which resulted in US issuing visa bans to some erring politicians and election stakeholders in Nigeria.

Our Politicians feared US more than death. You just have to see how they comport themselves at America embassy as if US is paradise or heaven.

PMB will want to enjoy his remaining three years in peace and he will not want to do anything that will irritate the international community. PMB must have given INEC and the Police strict directive not to tamper with the will of Edo people.

Oshimole is now a political leper!

ACxxxMAN:
Supreme court abracadabra loading.

No be for this one.

I know sey them go reject am "inconclusive". But make APC remember sey Edo no be Lagos ooo.

Lalasticlala

APC no get shame at all

Shaleye fun baba

Edo no be lagos

Cool.
PDP rigged this election. APC will proof this in Court. After our victory in Court, if Una like make Una call Pastor İze Iyamu Supreme Court Governor. We no care.

Perhaps they're unaware or still in shock about the Edo-is-not-Lagos tsunami that swept the APC from Edo State.
So this is why they refused to sign the election results because they want to activate the Tanko sharia judge supreme court abracadabra? Useless, shameless and disgusting losers.

Mericine after death

Ize-iyanmu, another Supreme Court governor loading.

They should better accept , God don win ooo

Just imagine these blatant & baseless lies? The party cum government is just the worst evil Nigeria has ever seen or had.

Apc the opposition

ok

Edo people have decided, cry me a river.

Sore losers

They should go to court as expected. What we had yesterday was just the preliminary battle. The main battle will take place in the court of law. The Supreme Court will decide who rules the state and not the electorate.

Yeye Losers...!
