The Edo State House Of Representative election held today October 4, 2018 between Prince Odi Okojie and Joe Ikpea with Prince Okojie leading the polls in different wards across the state.
But In an unfortunate twist and turn of events, it appeared the elections was condemned and cancelled after the result of the polls proved that Prince Okojie was leading his opponent by a wide margin.
A statement released by the APC’s AG National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena condemned the elections claiming it was conducted by unauthorized persons.
This is coming after Prince Odi Okojie won the hearts of many citizens of the state after they came out en masse to vote for him. We hope the elections would be rerun and the people are given the chance to vote their preferred candidate.
