Edo APC Candidates reject Obaseki and call for cancellation of party primaries by IllegalMoney: 12:44am On Jun 21, 2016
Two governorship candidate in the Edo State’s All Progressives Congress primary, Kenneth Imasuagbon and Chris Ogiemwonyi, have called for the cancellation of the result of the election won by Governor Adams Oshiomhole alleged favourite, Godwin Obaseki, in Benin on Saturday.

The duo, who made the call on Monday during a joint press conference in Benin, the state capital, described the results as false and “electronically manipulated.”

Obaseki, who is the Chairman of the state Economic and Strategy Team, was declared the winner of the over 10-hour election at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.



The Chairman of the Primary Committee and Governor of Katsina State, Alhaji Aminu Masari, announced that Obaseki polled a total of 1,618 votes, out of a total of 2,582 votes cast.

But Imasuagbon said, “Obaseki never won; the figures given Obaseki were electronically-manipulated. They were not the votes of the delegates.”

A former Minister of State for Works, Ogiemwonyi explained that members of the party were not unaware of the “activities” of the state government “to impose Obaseki at all costs,” as the candidate of the APC in the September 10 governorship election in the state.

“We must mention here, quickly, that we were never against the decision of Governor Adams Oshiomhole, but we were worried with the plans and action of those that were claiming to be acting on his instructions to impose Godwin Obaseki at all costs,” he said.

He decried the alleged intimidation of the delegates, whose Permanent Voter Cards, he said, were forcefully seized by “these agents of Edo State Government.”

Ogiemwonyi claimed that “non-delegates” were smuggled into the venue of the election, where the government allegedly had “full control.”

Oshiomhole had debunked the allegations on the purchase to delegates’ PVCs shortly after the primary.

But Ogiemwonyi said, “The intimidation of the delegates by the Edo State Government heightened few days to the primary, when the delegates were arrested and conveyed into different locations that served as camps and temporal prisons.”

He also accused the governor of interfering in the voting process.
