#EdoElectionTruth Trends on Social Media as INEC Staff Expose Manipulations in Edo Election

The recent Edo State governorship election, held on September 21, 2024, has ignited a firestorm of outrage on social media, with the hashtag #EdoElectionTruth trending as anonymous staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have come forward to expose alleged irregularities and manipulations during the electoral process.

Their revelations, which shed light on the deep-rooted issues within INEC, have captured public attention and sparked calls for accountability.

In a statement released to the public, concerned INEC staff expressed their dismay over the conduct of the election, describing it as marred by intimidation, coercion, and collusion among certain high-ranking officials and political agents.

They stated that while they had entered the election process with a commitment to uphold the principles of democracy, their experiences revealed a troubling reality that compromised the integrity of the electoral process.

"Since the election, many of us have been subjected to insults and abuse from our neighbours, church members, and even our own families.

"These accusations are based on the assumption that we were involved in manipulating the election, which is far from the truth," they stated.

The staff detailed a series of alarming incidents that occurred during the election. They reported coercion and threats from senior INEC officials, with some being pressured to alter vote counts or ignore irregularities.

Those who resisted were allegedly threatened with dismissal or physical harm. Additionally, they recounted instances where senior officials seized communication devices to prevent them from reporting irregularities, effectively isolating them from colleagues and external support.

"In collation centers across the state, we witnessed firsthand how election results were manipulated before being announced," they revealed.

The social media campaign, #EdoElectionTruth is gaining momentum, as Nigerians have demanded a thorough investigation into the allegations of election fraud.

"We need to demand accountability for those responsible for tampering with election results," a Twitter user wrote.

Another user commented: "Citizens deserve transparency and integrity in elections. Let's support the brave INEC staff speaking out!"

Yet another user stated: "We stand with those INEC staff members who bravely refused to succumb to threats."

The trending hashtag #EdoElectionTruth has fuelled outrage over the manipulation of the Edo State governorship election.

The white man has got to coin another name for what Nigeria is because Nigeria is not a country. Oh, Nnamdi Kanu has a name for it - a ZOO!

Let PDP take their 'truth' to court and see whether the truth has a leg to stand on

People go celebrate sey INEC rig elections in favour of their candidate and then still turn around to complain to God or Ala when someone else uses their influence to take over what they assume to be theirs.

If you support injustice done towards others, just know that the same action would fall ten times on you and your loved ones.

We know it was rigged, sincerely ask yourself how a candidate who claimed won the election by votes from the people did not thank the people after winning but ran straight to the president to kneel down and thank him and some people call Tinubu a progressive

Damnnn

This is where we find ourselves as a nation. A country blessed by God but rule by agberos, touts, drug barons, certificate forgers, strange men, killers, murderers, robbers and kidnappers of economy.

INEC is the real problem of Nigeria

Not judiciary
Not nnpc
Not House of Assembly
Not House of Rep
Not CBN
Not police
Not Army
Not the president.
Not the Governor
Not the Masses
Not dollars
Not Subsidy Removal

If INEC gets things right incompetence won't have Way in Governance

Lol Edo people want to save face for voting APC. 😆


If this election was in SW Igbo and Edo Obidients for no let Yoruba people rest. 😂

Tinubu has run away to UK

We've heard your stories.

As expected, they took Edo by storm!!

Oya, so pe o ti lo

Everybody go rest. Election is over biko
Which one is manipulation who doesnt manipulate in Nigeria. The only difference is they didnt get the opportunity.

Why is Seun and his mod pushing this type of fake and fabricated lie to the front page.

The Inec staffs has no name

The type of manipulations that took place cannot be explained.

Which of the polling station, the ward and LG that has their results manipulated?

Who are the highly placed individual or government officials involved.

We only heard of Obaseki visiting the collation center but was not allowed to enter.

Why is it that it's only election won by opposition pdp and Lp that's credible but when it won by the rulling party, then it's rigged.

When Aneinih was in Edo we know the millions of vote usually declared for pdp in every election. Now that actual vote is being declared then it's marred with irregularities.

Nawa ooooo. LP is even worse, he lost from his polling centre all through, yet he's also shouting riging.

Shameless and hate filled individual.

We already aware it's up to the Supreme Court to do the needful.

Obaseki poor performance finished ighodalo

Stop exposing your key witnesses to your opposition. That is how you guys lose cases and start crying on the judiciary.

As long as our laws allow for technicalities, you will continue to lose cases like this.

You go explain tire

Lol, inec used 2023 template on Edo. They will continue using it as long as yakubu is there.

400 million dollars na your mate?

My thoughts too. Although there was rigging, I was expecting to see a masked INEC staff speaking under ring light. Or something more serious. I be Obidient. I nor de PDP or APC matter. They should sort themselves.

IPOB and obirodent miscreants wailing and propaganda thread. Continue wailing, that's your calling

Eyeneck staff indeed!
