Police, DSS, INEC deployed in Edo for APC shadow poll

Edo State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary will hold today in the 192 wards across the 18 local government areas.

Two aspirants – Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Dr. Pius Odubu – are participating in the direct primary election, which a Court of Appeal in Benin on Thursday technically cleared to hold.

Secretary of the Primary Organising Committee Senator Ajibola Basiru said in Benin, the Edo State capital: “Voting will commence simultaneously at 8 a.m. at the 192 wards in Edo State. Not more than 18 persons will be allowed to gather at the same time from the commencement of voting to the end of the exercise, when the results will be announced.

“Not more than 18 persons shall also be in attendance for the announcement of results at all wards’ centres and collation of results at all levels, including the state collation. While Ize-Iyamu said his acceptability by APC members across the three senatorial districts of the state was his ace, Odubu, who last week said he would not to step after another cleared aspirant, Osaro Obazee, stepped down, believes his grassroots support would guarantee his emergence.
