Edo Guber Poll: PDP Youths Unveils Plot To Use ‘Federal Might’ To Rig Election

The PDP Youth Alliance for Good Governance (PYGG) has revealed an alleged plot to use ‘federal might’ to rig the upcoming Edo State governorship election.

The group expressed concerns that certain elements are planning to manipulate the election in favour of specific candidates, using federal resources and influence.

The PYGG vowed to resist any attempts to subvert the will of the people and warned that such actions could lead to unrest.

”We have it on good authority that there is mounting pressure on INEC to manipulate the electoral process and ensure that the votes of the Edo people do not count. Let us be clear: any attempt by INEC to compromise the integrity of the upcoming election will be met with fierce resistance.

”The people of Edo State are fully aware of their rights and will not tolerate any form of electoral malpractice. We are watching closely, and we will hold INEC accountable for the conduct of this election.

”Any action that undermines the democratic process disenfranchises the electorate, or casts doubt on the credibility of the results will have grave consequences.

”INEC must understand that it is entrusted with the sacred duty of upholding democracy, and any deviation from this responsibility will not only damage its credibility but also plunge the state into turmoil. The eyes of the nation and the international community are on Edo State, and we demand nothing short of a free, fair, and transparent election.

”We remind the Nigerian Police and INEC that the right to freedom of expression, association, and assembly is enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution and must be upheld at all costs.

”We demand that those already detained be immediately released or charged with recognizable offences in line with the law. The use of state machinery to oppress political opposition is not only unconstitutional but also a flagrant violation of international human rights standards,” the group’s coordinator, Godwin History, declared.

The PDP youth group also called on civil society organizations and the international community to support their fight for justice and democracy.

The group also urged the public to remain vigilant and to stand firm in defending their democratic rights.
