A statement by the party on
Thursday, September 29 read in part: “We completely reject the charade, farce
and outright travesty that has taken place in the name of the Edo State
Gubernatorial Election. In the history of our Country, there have not been many
instances of such an outright subversion of the will of the people.” In the
same vein, supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have staged a
protest against the outcome of the Edo state gubernatorial election. The
protest was carried out in front of the office of the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) on September 29. The supporters carrying placards
claimed that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the PDP was the winner of the election
as against reports that Godwin Obaseki of the All Progressives Congress was in
pole position to win the election.
However the Ali Modu Sheriff faction has refused
to support the PDP on the rejection of results of the Edo election. His faction
says it would consult widely before coming to a decision on what to do about
the results which the Ahmed Makarfi faction says are fake .
Conclusively the PDP also refused
to sign the final results because, it claims, the results were rehearsed.
