The Edo Civil Society Organisations, EDOSCO, a coalition of civil societies in the state, has condemned the spate of political violence ahead of the September 21, 2024, governorship election.
DAILY POST reports that the group noted that there have been disturbing reports of violence in some parts of the state and intolerance among political parties. The group also listed physical attacks and destruction of campaign materials and personal properties as cases that have been reported as regular occurrences.
'We shall ensure that this election is done in the most tranquil and transparent circumstances where nobody, however highly placed he may be, shall be allowed to truncate the will of the people this time around,” he said. Agho, who commended the political parties for presenting what they perceived as their best for the election through primary electioneering processes, noted that in some cases the primaries were manipulated against the will of members of the party.
