Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State said politicians, who conjured election results and announced the same on social media during the governorship election are the same people crying that the polls were rigged.

Okpebholo stated this on Saturday at the Esan Central Local Government Council Secretariat, venue of the homecoming reception held in celebration of his victory by the Esan people.

While hailing the people of the state for voting him to power, the governor said those who lost would continue to cry foul because their rigging strategies failed.

"I thank the leadership of my party especially our President, Bola Tinubu for standing firm for justice and allowing equity to prevail and it led to the success and victory recorded by our party.

“The people that wrote results and were announcing fake results on the internet, are the same people crying today that somebody rigged the election.

“It is sad to say that the criminals are crying today that they have lost and will continue to lose. They are spending money day and night and wasting their money and will wait in vain,” he said.

On his part, the Onojie of Uromi, His Royal Highness Anselm Aidenojie II, said the people of Esan are happy that the son of the land is the governor of the state, saying all the monarchs of Esanland backed his ambition which eventually materialised.

“We, the traditional rulers from Esanland, went round the state to appeal for the support to produce the governor and today it’s a reality.

“We thank the Oba of Benin Kingdom, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare ll and we are grateful to all for the support. We believe that the governor will deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Edo State,” the royal father said.

In that case you must have proof or are we only going to go by your word? In that case we might as well not vote and get you to declare the next gorvenor every 4 years.

I am not saying it wasn't rigged, I just want to see your proof. Chikena

You lie

Only APC usually rigs!
PDP doesn't rig!
LP is a the Lord's Prayer Party. They don't rig too!

That's how Peter Obi won SE back then!

Ezi

ok.

Anyway, Agriculture is life

This governor should stop all these talks and start working to confuse people of Edo that really win the election. One month in office is gone yet no foundation of projects, no good governing. Please sir, stop noise and fake promises and focus on your governing .

Go and watch Osita Chidoka's detailed analysis.

The people of sit at home and IPOB terrorists infested region are crying more than the bereaved. Majority of Edo people accepted the elections and have congratulated the winner. But our blodas as usual are crying more than the bereaved.

This man will be kicked out las las... how did he even become senator in the first place ...

Thanks, I have had a look and cannot wait for him to present his proof in court.

A lot of people don't understand why people are shouting about Edo election. In the past, political parties used to rig Election that was why the idea of BVAS and IREV came up as a way of checkmating their rigging machines.
However in Edo election, it was INEC the electoral umpires that changed the results. People went out to vote as usual. At the end of the election, results were announced at the polling units and uploaded on the IREV.
On the eve of the election, over 90% of results were already uploaded on the IREV which shows that PDP was winning.
Out of no where, INEC suspended collation of result. They later resufaced to announce another result different from what electoral officers posted on IREV.
They even went ahead to print another set of result sheets with same serial numbers to justify their manipulation but unfortunately, they could not get polling unit agents to sign them. That's where they goofed.
The concern now is, if INEC who is supposed to be the umpire is now the ones doing the rigging, then Nigeria democracy is dead.
Nigerians should just forget about going to the polls to elect anybody especially in 2027.
In other words, Nigerias democracy is under siege.

Which majority? I am not just an Edo man, I am an Esan man and Monday Okpebholo of APC was my senator. I am resident here in benin. On the day the governor was announced winner, the state was like a graveyard. It was as if people were morning. You think INEC did the right thing because your party was declared winner? If democracy dies in Nigeria you think it will not affect you?

you guys are just so insensitive, if anything it is the Ronu folks who are more concerned about the election in Edo, the mood I n Edo when okphebolo was declared a winner was the same when Tinubu was declared and both elections we're rigged.

All of these is a lie, at no time did the data on iREV change from what was uploaded.

Make una suffry de lie.
