Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Spiritual Evangelical Church, has criticized the outcome of the recent governorship election in Edo State, Nigeria, as reported by DAILY INDEPENDENT.
He said the people’s choice to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) has led the state toward a setback.
Speaking at his church headquarters in Ejigbo, Lagos, Ayodele described the election result as manipulated and deceitful.
He alleged that Dr. Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was the true winner of the election but was unjustly denied victory.
Ayodele claimed that the election was rigged in favor of the APC candidate.
He stated that the PDP and its supporters must take strong and necessary steps to recover what he referred to as their rightful mandate.
He warned that without action, the APC would continue to hold onto power in the state.
Ayodele also predicted that within a year, the people of Edo would regret their decision in the election.
He added that prayers and strategic efforts would be crucial for the PDP to reclaim victory.
“Voting for APC in Edo State Governorship election was like voting for setback, deceit and deception. The election was actually warned by Dr Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party but was rigged in favour of the APC candidate.
“We have seen that a lot of things have been happening in that APC State, In less than one year Edo people will know that they didn’t make the right choice.
If they don’t do the needful APC will still maintain the seat,” he said.Tap Here for the Full Story
