Supporters of the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate for Enugu State, Chijoke Edeoga, stormed the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Enugu on Tuesday, insisting that the party had won the March 18 election.
According to reports, Casmir Agbo, the Enugu State Chairman of the Labour Party, stated to the press that they were protesting because they did not want the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to manipulate the election outcome.
It should be noted that INEC had suspended collation of the governorship election due to discrepancies in the results from two local governments, Nkanu East and Nsukka, until the matter was resolved.
Following that, the Labour Party petitioned INEC regarding the Nkanu East LGA results.
“We are here because the PDP is attempting to manipulate the governorship election.” We easily won in all 17 local government areas.
“We won by over 11,000 votes. We’ve seen the outcomes. “The only issue is Nkanu East,” Agbo explained.
