Edo Guber: INEC REC Denies Plot to Rig Election for PDP
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Mike Igini, has denied any plot with the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo state to rig the forthcoming governorship election.
Igini said: “For the second time within a week, my name has been needlessly and maliciously dragged into a political group’s statement on the Edo election. The statement falsely and erroneously claimed that I was in Benin on Thursday 27th August 2020. Igini said that evidently, those who made up the concocted story do not know him, as he explained: “If they do, certainly they will never attribute these anti-democratic sacrileges to my person.”
“My entire public service has been an open book, I urge those who harbour any doubt to visit the public records and review the results of Elections conducted under my watch as Resident Electoral Commissioner in Edo. Cross River, Imo, Anambra and Akwa Ibom State.
