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 |
