#EdoDecides: Gov Oshiomhole condemns the postponement of Guber Election

 

 

Former NLC President and Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomole, has condemned the decision of INEC to postpone the Saturday September 10 gubernatorial election in the state. The postponement of the election came following an advise from the police and DSS that the state was under some security threats and that it would be unwise to hold an election under such circumstance. The election has been shifted to Wednesday September 28, 2016.
 

The governor who spoke on Channels TV said:

"I was suprised like everybody. We had our final rally on Tuesday. If I had an idea that the election will be postponed, we would have postponed our rally. The whole idea was to bring our rally to a close so that we would spend the remaining time dealing with the issues of election logistically. My only issue is that for some reason, INEC fixed this election to coincide with WAEC examination".

He also said the two weeks extension is too long and that holding an election two days after the coronation of the Oba of Benin is unwise.
