…Urged that election must be transparent and credible
By Ogechi Okorie
Akure (Precise Post) – Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) candidate, Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), has urged Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure free, fair and credible election in Ondo reminding that the electoral crisis that brought down the Federal Government in 1983 started here in Ondo State.
Jegede therefore asked INEC to build on its performance in Edo State by ensuring that Saturday’s election is free, fair, transparent and credible.
“We were excited about INEC performance in Edo, but we are slightly apprehensive that if INEC follows tradition and takes four steps backward, it will not be pretty for the election, for the state and the nation,” Jegede said through the spokesman of his campaign organization, Gbenga Akinmoyo.
He added: “INEC should remember that in 1983, the electoral crisis that brought down the Federal Government started here in Ondo State. So, free, fair, transparent and credible election is all we ask of from INEC. No favours to the PDP; just a fair contest.
“If INEC does its own job as a neutral umpire, we are confident that the people of Ondo State will be victorious in choosing their governor.”
