Election Results: Edo Native Doctor Invokes Spirits Against INEC Chairman

"Gist"

A video has emerged showing an angry Edo State native doctor, invoking the spirit of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu over the results of the February 25 elections.

The native doctor in Edo State accused INEC Chairman and others of allegedly scuttling the wish of the people.

The native doctor stated that the days of INEC officials are numbered as he had invoked the gods of Benin to deal with them before the month of May.

“Peter Obi’s result was taken to another person by the INEC Chairman. You have taken the glory of this land to a wrong person. Today, I have called the spirit of death.

“This thing you have done to this country, you’ll never find peace…you and all those that are working for you. The gods of this land is sending a message.

“Our people abroad are tired, they want to come back home because they want a new Nigeria.. You said no way. You’ll never find peace. Shame and disgrace will locate you,” he said.

The outcome of the presidential election remains controversial after violence in many areas and irregularities including over voting, alteration of results, among others.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, this week stressed that Yakubu “manipulated” the poll in favour of the APC and asked him to resign.

The opposition said Yakubu allegedly committed “serious electoral offence” and “betrayed the trust, confidence and hope Nigerians” reposed in him and the commission.

International election watchers including the International Republican Institute, IRI, and the National Democratic Institute, NDI, joint mission declared that INEC lacked transparency during the polls.

However, the result is being contested by Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and his counterpart in the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.
