Reactions:
Odogwu @OVnotOVI: “This is a local government “election” result. There were no elections in Edo yesterday; what happened was an allocation of votes. Calling what happened yesterday a sham is being generous. So there’s no lesson to be learned from the purported results being bandied around.’
JORDAN @sir_jordann: “That’s great to hear that you are satisfied with the conduct of the LG (Local Government) elections in Edo state, as mentioned by Governor Obaseki. It is important for elections to be conducted in a fair, transparent, and peaceful manner to uphold democratic principles.”
