Edo Governorship Election Was Widely Peaceful, Says US by LegendHero(op): 6:35pm On Sep 24, 2024
The United States has commended the conduct of the governorship election in Edo state.

Okpebholo, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared the winner of the election held on September 21.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said Okpebholo secured 291,667 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who got 247,274 votes.

Olumide Akpata, candidate of the Labour Party (LP), came a distant third with 22,763 votes.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Richard Mills, US ambassador to Nigeria, said the election was “widely peaceful”.

“The U.S. Mission in Nigeria commends the people of Edo State for the widely peaceful conduct of gubernatorial elections on September 21 and reiterates calls for calm following the announcement of results,” the statement reads.

“We commend Governor Obaseki’s appeal for peace and urge all stakeholders, including INEC, to support established electoral processes and respect legal procedures to challenge results.


Transparency and due process are crucial to maintaining public confidence in any democratic system.”

Mills added that the US is committed to supporting free, fair, transparent, and credible elections in Nigeria.“

By the way, why do these idiotic whites feel the need to speak on another country's electoral process? Who the Bleep are they?

I no blame them
I blame black monkeys that worship them


If I was the President of this country I would have issued a statement for both parties to respect the rule of law and followed up with a peace force to the US immediately after Trump's bullet-grazing incident.

The best election so far. No shooting, No death, No fighting, No ballet box snatching or election materials.

Yet Peter condemned the election cos his party performed woefully.

Kudos to INEC and the FG

Na Shimamamnda cause am. She wrote useless letter to Biden crying that Obi was rigged.

I no see you curse the white man out when she did that. Abi how can a sane person write letter about another sovereign election. Will Amelika come and cancel our democratic election?

YIGA AFRICA has it's origin in Nigeria, controlled by Nigerians, forget the Africa attached to it. It's all part of the game to use them to make empty claims.

I was expecting war in Edo. Serious war!!!
My question is to Olumide Apata, what really happened in your polling unit under your nose that you lost? Was it rigging too and done under your nose? undecided
