Edo Election: Ambode, El’Rufai In State To Rig Poll – Ize-Iyamu
Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has accused two All Progressives Congress, APC governors Akinwumi Ambode and Nasir el’Rufai of Lagos and Kaduna states respectively, of coming to Edo State to rig the ongoing governorship election in the state.
Ize-Iyamu made the allegation shortly after he casted his vote at Ward 5, Unit 26, Iguododo Primary School, Iguododo, Orhiomwon Local Government Area, where he hails from.
“I want to cry out to the whole world that I have been reliably informed that Governors Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos and Nasir el’Rufai of Kaduna, are in the state.

“If the federal government and INEC declared today a restricted date for movement, even to indigenes of the state, what are they doing here on our election day? They should be advised to go back to their states immediately, in their own interest,” Ize-Iyamu said.
The aspiring governor called on the Independent And National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agents to ensure that the ruling APC does not hijack the process.
