The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has contradicted claims by the factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff that the commission’s personnel did not monitor last Monday’s governorship primary in Edo State conducted by the Makarfi-led caretaker committee.
While inaugurating his group’s version of the governorship election primaries committee for Edo State yesterday in Abuja, Sheriff said, “INEC is a creation of law and is created to monitor political parties. We are told officially that INEC did not send anybody to monitor the election.”

But the commission yesterday confirmed to newsmen that it actually sent its staff to witness the PDP’s governorship primaries in the state.


The INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze Uzzi, who spoke to journalists on telephone said that, “I am not aware of claims by anyone to the contrary, but all I can say is that INEC’s staff witnessed the PDP governorship and they are in the process of submitting their report.”

Speaking in the same vein, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, confirmed to reporters that the commission was represented at the primaries which saw the emergence of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the PDP flag bearer.

Ali Modu Sheriff should give it up already.

Ali Modu should be ashamed by now rather hold on to this

99% of the party members dont want you and u still there pushing for it

how about d party's support for him, sure he doesnt think that far.



if he is pained about his jets and money used he should transfer his grievances to those who used them and just step aside.



how shameful it is to see that you are voted out by 99% of ur party men.

Abeg forget PDP and their drama

[b] Listen eh
I have been on nairaland for months, I have noticed one thing, we might all be bias with our views but one thing is common! We are all not happy!
Funny thing is that when an igbo man says the truth the yoruba man argues not because he is not saying the truth but because its coming from an igbo man!
No tribe is useless people
Hausa people might hold juicy positions but let's be honest for once! They have more integrity than we southerners! Do you know that most banks in America are controlled by jews because they are trustworthy and don't mess around with people's money, do your research! Aren't there American that are bankers?
Now my igbo brothers am from delta state got nothing against you people but honestly no one is marginalising you guys! Funny enough you're the one going about claiming that you're not recognised and that ure treated differently aint no one's fault
I served in the east! Before I got a house to rent eh! Many old igbo men saying no! Or was it buses that I entered and they will all be speaking igbo! Why won't I feel unwanted 2moro I am thinking about changing my location I won't consider east! You want to be recognised!
Reduce bride price and cost of marrying your people
Allow other tribes to marry ur people without drama!
Be welcoming to other tribes
Have plenty children, there are more people in kano than in the entire east! Of cos the tribe with the highest number of people will be more popular and respected that's nature for you! In America there are more whites than blacks but because the blacks make efforts to be welcoming to the whites slowly things have improved that's why there must be a black man in every white movie( that's being recognised)
I love you guys ur girls are beautiful and ure all exceptionally brilliant in doing business( the whole country use that one beef una self)
Stop being misguided lets stop all this arrant nonsense and dramas and face the real problem
The problem isn't igbo, hausa, yoruba and all the other wonderful tribes!
The problem is those in power stealing and walking away!
Don't say hey see that yoruba thief he didn't steal yoruba money my brother
He stole OUR money!
Change isn't about what the government does for us!
Is about our mindset
For once think about yourself and not where you're from!
If ure not tired I am[/b]

Ali Modu should just let it go, leadership isn't by force! Let him be a gentleman and bow out.
