APC decries PDP’s rejection of result of Edo election
The All Progressives Congress’ governorship candidate in Edo State, Godwin Obaseki
Mr Anselm Ojezua, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo chapter, has described the rejection of the state governorship election results by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as an act of a bad loser.
Ojezua told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Benin on Thursday that the entire process of the election had been nothing but peaceful.
“This is just a case of a bad loser. It is a pity that the PDP expects to win in a state which it had run down.
“Though the announcement of the results is still ongoing, I commend INEC , thus far.
“The process was very peaceful. INEC was efficient in delivery of materials to ensure that they got to locations on time,” he said.
The chairman advised the PDP to channel its grievances to the appropriate quarters.
NAN reports that the PDP had, through its Chairman, rejected the results of the election, describing it as “fabricated and pre-determined”.
