Edo APC Unveils plan by PDP to Invade INEC office with Disbanded State Security Network,

Oct 9, 2024

The Edo State chapter of the All progressive congress (APC) said it has unveiled plan by the people's Democratic party (PDP) to invade the Independent National Electoral commission (INEC),  headquarters in Benin city using the members of the disbanded Edo State security network (ESSN).

A statement by the State chairman of the party, Jarrett Tenebe said "arising from the outcome of the inspection of election materials by political parties at the INEC office in Edo State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of frustration has finalised plans to invade the inspection venue with members of the disbanded Edo State Security Network (ESSN).

Tenebe alleged that ESSN had been established by the Police to have murdered the late  Inspector Akor Onuh, an orderly attached to Senator Monday Okpebholo, the State's governor-elect.

According to him, the All Progressives Congress is by this statement informing the general public that Governor Godwin Obaseki has decided to unleash mayhem on members of the opposition parties, including INEC personnel.

"We have it on good authority that their plans include the possible burning of INEC to give room for substitution of BVAS machines, fake results and Voters' Register.

"We have earlier raised alarm about the bus loads of BVAS machines and fake election results that were transported from PDP election situation room in Edo Government House to the INEC office.

"In the prevailing circumstance, we implored the Police and other security agencies to arrest those that killed Inspector Onuh at the INEC office, because good samaritans, including APC chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe will be on ground to identify the murderers",he said.

 

It was alleged that Governor Obaseki had promised the disbanded ESSN members, that he would recall them in "few days," and with the recent discovery, it is now obvious that his plan is to deploy them to do more havoc at the  INEC office.
