The Executive Director, TAP Initiative, Martins Obono, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of being actively involved in rigging the 2024 Edo State governorship election. It could be recalled that Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Asue Ighodalo, in the keenly contested election.
We were stunned. Democracies are built on trust in our institutions. If INEC can betray that trust, what does it mean for our future?” He alleged. Obono contended that the alleged manipulation “wasn’t just election fraud, it was institutionalised rigging, a level of deception never seen before in Nigeria. “For years, we suspected rogue actors in political parties. But this time, it’s the very institution entrusted to protect our democracy, INEC, that is subverting it.
