Edo Poll: We’ll Regain Our Mandate – Ighodalo

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the just concluded Edo State Governorship election, Asue Ighodalo on Thursday said he is confident of winning his case at the State Election Petitions Tribunal.

The PDP candidate who gave this assurance on Thursday said the election that brought Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor-elect was not free and fair.

“There is a lot of data, information, evidence that we have. We are fully confident that going through the tribunal, we will win the case.

“We will regain our mandate and we are clear without any doubt that we are the winners of the election last Saturday,” Ighodalo stated.

According to Ighodalo, Edo people overwhelmingly voted for him and his party in last Saturday’s election and alleged that the APC ruled the election in collaboration with electoral officials.

“We didn’t rig. When APC and INEC saw that APC was losing woefully, they then subverted the electoral laws and the guidelines.

“Collations are done at the polling units and then you go to the ward and then the local government collation centre and then the state. There was a jump, from ward straight to the state,” Ighodalo stated.
