As the governorship election in Edo state draws nearer, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state have again engaged in verbal war. Vanguard reports that the APC accused the PDP and its governorship candidate, Governor Godwin Obaseki of engaging the services of a former senior staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi to rig the election. Legit.ng gathered that APC said the plot by the PDP was as a result of the failure of the party and Obaseki to convince the people on why they should vote for them.

Mayaki said: “As an upgrade to the server scam that failed the PDP in the 2019 general elections because it ignorantly went with the fraud without insight on the result collation process of INEC, the party of tax-collectors, having lost all hopes of winning the Edo election in a fair contest, are concluding plans on another rigging strategy with the recent secret conscription of one Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi. ”Mr. Osaze-Uzzi, Obaseki’s first cousin, who served for many years at INEC and had to be forced out of commission despite his stalling tactics to stay put until the conclusion of the election which he had planned to manipulate by offering sensitive inside information to his cousin, has now fully joined the Obaseki campaign, though secretly as a private consultant.
