Dennis Idahosa, an aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded primary election, has rejected the result declared by the party’s electoral committee.
Idahosa came second pulling 6,541 votes behind the winner, Senator Monday Okpebholo who scored 12,433 votes.
Idahosa has, however, rejected the result, describing it as fictitious.
The statement reads in part: “The declaration of fictitious primary election results by the Sen. Bassey Otu’s Committee represents the highest level of rape on democracy ever witnessed in Edo State.
“Events in the last few days may have been very disappointing and demoralizing to lots of people as your votes seemed not to have counted going by the process and declaration of fictitious primary election results of what happened on the field on the 22nd re-run elections in the 192 wards of the State.
“Let me assure you all, our teaming supporters that, I shall explore all the party internal mechanisms to resolve the issues, and seek justice and where that doesn’t work, I shall communicate with you all on our next line of action.”
Recall that RovingNaija News had reported that the primary election, which was first conducted on 17 February, but produced three different winners, had to be canceled and rescheduled for Thursday, 22 February after an uproar and condemnation.
