A chieftain of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State, Chief Clifford Eineh has raised alarm over alleged plans by the All Progressives Congress, APC, to rig today's council election in Esan North East Local Government of the state.
In a statement in Benin, Eineh said, "We are
using this opportunity to call on all security agencies to beef up their strategies to avert rigging and manipulations during the council election as scores of strange faces have invaded our communities ahead of the polls.
"We are more particularly concerned about the security of lives and property across Esan North East Local Government Area, especially the hinterlands like Uzea and several other villages in Uromi.
"We particularly call on the Inspector General of Police, IGP, the Edo State Commissioner of Police, the Department of State Services, DSS, and other security agencies to rise to the challenge of defending our nascent democracy as we have reliably gathered that there are plans by the APC- led government in Edo State
to announce a concocted result on the council election in their favour from Government House, Benin City.
Our people shall definitely resist any result that does not emanate from the election.'
