Update... Edo decides Live coverage of the gubernatorial
elections in Edo state
ARTICLE | JULY 14, 2012 - 7:00AM | BY
SYLVESTER AWENLIMOBOR Image credit: Sylvester Awenlimobor
At Owan East and Owan West voting has
commenced in almost all polling centres. At Garrick Memorial Primary School, the
protesters insist on using the voting list
used for the Presidential elections. The
Deputy Inspector General of Police and his
men think otherwise. Stand-off continues.
No voting. PDP representatives complain of
intimidation in Okada. At Ebenezer Primary School, off Ihama
Road, over 300 people have not found their
names on the list and have taken laws into
their hands literally causing unrest in the
area. The security men there scamper for
safety. Voting has started in Ubiaja. At Garrick Memorial Primary School (Ward
of the PDP candidate), over 500 people
have become unruly because they could not
find their names on the register. They have
vowed not to allow anyone vote until they
are accredited. The security agents are overwhelmed and have called for back-up. The INEC REC has extended accreditation at
Forestry to 1400hours. At Iguobazuwa, Ward 1, INEC officials say
that they came late (1000hours) because of
a traffic jam. At Ikumono youths tried to disrupt the
election for yet-to-be identified reasons at
a polling station but security forces brought
the situation under control. At Irrua, in Idunwele town hall people
think the INEC officials are too slow. The
INEC officials seem overwhelmed with the
large turnout. At Esan Central Ward 6 voting has
commenced. At College Road in Aduwawa, youths are
done with accreditation, but rather than
prepare for voting, they vote for alcohol... At most polling centres in Irrua
accreditation started about 1030hours and
is still on at 1230hours, but INEC REC insists
that there would be no extension to voting
time. The INEC REC is at Forestry in Benin City.
Situation is tense as there are no pictures
on the voters' register here and voters are
insisting that he produces the original
register. Oshiomhole has declared that as soon as he
votes he would come into Benin to prevent
Edo people from being disenfranchised.
Question: "If the IG and CP have instructed
that NO ONE except election officials,
journalists and security officials are allowed to move how will the Governor
come down to Benin?" At Owan West, Oriewen Primary School,
tension boils as Voters say they are over
350 registered voters, while INEC insists
they are only 153. Accreditation done at Idia College! And
surprisingly voting has begun at
1154hours!!! Six minutes before the noon
start time. A voter at New Era, Osahon says he
registered and voted during the last
elections and now his name is no longer on
the register. He insists that rigging has
occured. INEC REC remains unreachable. At New Era College, Upper Mission, Ward 7,
Unit 13 the CP has asked all his details to
remain behind, while he makes his escape,
as agitation mounts over inability of voters
to find their names on the voters register. At Upper Mission in Benin, there was a
false distress call to the CP who rushed
there. However now voters are getting
agitated because they cannot find their
names and the CP has full hands trying to
calm people down. At Oluku several potential voters who
registered at Ekiadolor have been asked to
trek to their centre, as soldiers have
stopped all vehicular movement. Many have
turned back as a result. One of the voters
said he had moved houses from Ekiadolor to Oluku and wanted to use his bike and he
will not trek the over 4km trip to and from. Accreditation finally starts at Garrick
Memorial.........Hurray! Time is 1031hours,
and with the crowd, it is not expected that
accreditation would be done by the
stipulated noon. Polling units 18,19,20,21 at Garrick
Memorial seem to be giving the INEC
officials a hectic time as voters are getting
upset being sent to look for their names
across the four polling centres. Accreditation expected to go way beyond
the 12pm timeline across several parts of
Benin City. Large turnout of Voters across Edo Central,
in Ubiaja accreditation began about
1000hours. No violence recorded anywhere so far, the
Anti-Bomb squad stationed right in front of
the INEC office still has no job, with two
soldiers leisurely smoking away. At Orenigbe, Orhiowhon accreditation has
been done with and voters are waiting for
voting. Materials slowly arriving across centres in
Benin City, Oredo. At Ward 8, Ikpoba Okha though materials
yet to arrive.........At Usen, materials are yet
to arrive and people are actually writing
their names on a paper....what for remains
a mystery! Potential trouble spot at Iyenevha Primary
School in Ikpoba. Several voters are
agitated outside the gate while the
security operatives have locked up the
area, reasons yet unknown. INEC officials
are inside and they have already set up shop despite coming late (10:05am). INEC REC, Barrister Kasim has urged voters
to be calm, that 'inadequate' security
operatives is the reason why some centres
have not received voting materials. He has
asked Edo voters to be calm that the
materials would get round and every registered voter will vote. Question: Where are the policemen At Ehor accreditation started 8am at
Aruosa Grammar School, heavy security
presence and no one without a voters card
can enter into the polling centre. At Unit 6, old Ogbe Primary School, Ehor
accreditation started on time also. At Eguede Primary school, Unit 7
accreditation started on time also, some
voters came with wrong voters card and
were turned back. Materials just getting to centers at Eghosa
Grammar School, Egor. Accreditation just
started. The Police have released hotline numbers:
08071408009 for Edo South, 08167435347
for Edo Central, and the CP, Femi Adenaike
has released his number too:
08033008525. INEC Hotlines in EDO 07098117563,
07098115257 Ministry of Education, Idia College.
Materials did not leave the polling centre
on time, and the INEC officers just arrived
at Idia college The INEC officials say that
there were no security officials to escort
the materials to the polling unit. Accreditation finally started at Idia college
at 9:30am0942: INEC officials have just
arrived at the polling unit at ICE in Auchi.
Some voters can't find their names in
register... INEC officials arrive late at Adolo College
Polling station. They have arrived now
(0930hours), and accreditation is about to
start. Thanks to Endurance Asemota for
that. 0919: Several areas in Agenegbode yet to
start accreditation. Accreditation is
expected to run between 0800 and noon.
As of 0917, no INEC official has arrived at
Garrick Memorial, Ekenhuan Road, Benin
City. Crowd getting angry. In Ikpoba Hill, accreditation started
promptly at 0800hours. In Ekenhuan, as of
0906hours, no INEC official has reported at
any of the polling units. The Resident Electoral Commissioner,
Kassim Gaidam, has urged voters to "cast
their votes and leave" for 'security reasons'. Heavy military presence all over Benin City.
At the INEC office at Ramat Park, a
policeman who spoke on the condition of
anonimity claimed that they had
information that hoodlums from other
states had come in to disrupt the poll, but assured that there waas noting to fear. In the build up to the election, there's been
a lot of fear. Movement is restricted this
morning, but people began to close up shop
yesterday. People gathered at Igbesamwan Primary
School in the state capital quite early to
exercise their rights. via DailyTimes and @TellNigeria

Omo_Tier1:
This is the impression you get when you only stroll around few streets in Benin! I know campaign is over but it is right to set facts straight and let truth be at all times. The development has been spread across the state and those that have traveled far and wide the state will attest to the fact that similar development you see in Benin can also be seen elsewhere in the state. Auchi, now has a dual carriage way with street lights, renovated schools just like you have in Benin! Not only in Auchi, in Orhiownon LGA, in Ovia, in Esan Central, etc but in several other local governments, you see intra-state road being constructed by the government and some schools, hospital renovate.

As for Airport road you mentioned, what you may not have known until now is that the project had to be redefined when it became apparent that the Benin water storm project MUST encompass airport road hence beyond the Benin Airport end of the road, new water way had to be redefined way to Iyekogba river and same goes with the road!

In summary, no body is saying the goverment in power is 100% perfect, but the people of the state has seen the difference between a responsible government accountable to the people and the one that tells you "allocation is yet to come from Abuja hence roads can not be patched nor new ones built"..
@ Omotier
In the eyes of the blind a one eyed man is the king... I find it difficult to CRITICISE Oshomohle cause Igbinedion was a monumental failure and his failure goes beyond party problem but individual ineptitude... Haven sPENT my last nine years in Benin, I ll say he has a mind to work but his works are far less than the publicity he is getting compared to the level of hope he raise.
d .He ll never do better in second tenure, mark it as usual with ACN in particular and Nigeria in general.. With the level of taxation and increased allocation coupled with his less wasteful attitude he should have been able to complete more projects.. Well if the people want him back so be it after the devil u knw s better than the unknown Nigel but anything come out a devil?
ENOUGH SAID... NO MORE CAMPAIGNING... TIME TO GO VOTE YOUR CHOICE... END OF DISCUSSION...
