Edo poll: Rigging allegation against Shettima, others baseless, says APC

The APC chieftain also alleged that part of the party’s rigging plan included using the police to intimidate voters on the day of the election.

He claimed that Shettima was going to work with Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, while the President would be forced to take a holiday.

He said, “There are plans by the All Progressives Congress to manipulate and rig the upcoming governorship election in Edo State, using Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, while the President takes a holiday.

“Part of the APC’s rigging plan also includes using the police to intimidate voters on the day of the election. We know their plans, and we will reveal them at the appropriate time. We will begin to present evidence. I am putting Edo above the APC as a party.”

Reacting in a statement, the Director of Publicity for the APC Edo Governorship Campaign Council, Orobosa Omo-Ojo, said the allegation was baseless and expressed concern about the inflammatory and inciting language used by Odigie in the interview.
