GEdo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has unveiled
plot on how the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) planned
to rig the state governorship election rescheduled for
September 28.
The governor disclosed that the PDP through some
governors in the South-south planned to rig the election
by registering 8,000 militants from their states for the poll.
Oshiomhole, who spoke while receiving the Inspector-
General of Police, Mr. Idris Ibrahim, at the Government
House in Benin City, said the PDP opted for militants from
other states because they couldn’t find any local thugs to
help them perpetrate violence which they have done
between 1999 and 2007.
He said the PDP resorted to liaising with his brothers
(Governors) in the sub-region, Delta and Rivers, in
particular, to export criminals and militants into Edo State
in order to make peaceful election impossible.
The governor recalled how he first raised the alarm on the
eve of the INEC Continuing Voters’ Registration exercise.
He explained that the militants registered in the state to
have the lawful basis to be present at the designated
polling units where they were expected to unleash
violence on election day.
