In other news, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has implored the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to conduct a free, fair and credible governorship election in Ondo State.
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, who is also the Leader of the party in the South-West Zone, made the appeal on Tuesday in Akure, during the official flag-off of the PDP governorship election campaign.
The governor said the party would not do what he termed a fraudulent election in Edo State, saying “We don’t want that in Ondo”.
Makinde also called for the removal of the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC in the state, Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola, saying the party had no confidence in her to deliver a credible election.
The governor said the call for Babalola’s removal was to safeguard electoral integrity and ensure fairness and level playing ground for all parties in the forthcoming November 16 governorship election in the state.
