The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, condemned the reported refusal by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Edo State to grant the PDP and its candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo access to the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines and other materials used in the September 21, 2024 Edo State governorship election against the order of court.
In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP said, “Our Party also alerts the public of how compromised INEC officials used the ploy of waiting for “directives from above” to allegedly allow thugs recruited by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some unscrupulous police operatives to invade the INEC office in Edo State so as to cause confusion and frustrate the PDP from accessing these sensitive materials.”
