The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Edo State of recruiting All Progressives Congress (APC) loyalist as ad-hoc staff ahead of the forthcoming 2016 Edo State gubernatorial election.
The Party raised the alarm on Saturday in a press statement by its Chief Spokesman, Prince Dayo Adeyeye saying that there is a video evidence exposing INEC officials in Edo State of compromising the outcome of the gubernatorial election before the scheduled Saturday November10, 2016 poll.
“We have once again uncovered another plot by the Electoral umpire in Edo State to rig the gubernatorial election in favour of the government in power in the state. There are clear evidence available to us showing how INEC officials are recruiting APC members as ad-hoc staff to rig the election for the APC candidate in the governorship election in the state,” Prince Adeyeye said.
The PDP Spokesman warned that the party will not tolerate any act of sabotage and advised the electoral umpire to recruit neutral and credible Nigerians without partisan interest as ad-hoc staff to maintain their neutrality in the process.
