The PDP Youth Alliance for Good Governance (PYGG) has raised serious concerns about an alleged plot to rig the upcoming Edo State governorship election through the use of “federal might.” The group has warned that any attempts to undermine the democratic process could lead to unrest and severely damage the credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Monday, September 2, Godwin History, the PYGG coordinator, issued a stern warning, stating, “We have it on good authority that there is mounting pressure on INEC to manipulate the electoral process and ensure that the votes of the Edo people do not count. Any attempt by INEC to compromise the integrity of the upcoming election will be met with fierce resistance.”
The PYGG emphasized the critical role of INEC in upholding democracy, warning that any deviation from its responsibility could plunge the state into turmoil. They stressed that INEC is entrusted with the “sacred duty” of ensuring a free and fair election.
The group also called on civil society organizations and the international community to support their fight for justice and democracy. They urged the public to remain vigilant and stand firm in defending their democratic rights.
