The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has postpone the Edo State governorship election by two weeks. The new date for the election is september 28th.
INEC had been contemplating shifting the elections due to security report it received. It was gathered that police pulled out it’s personnel while the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) refused to deployed Corps members for the Saturday exercise.
An anonymous source said before the announcement of the new date; “We shall meet to take a decision. At the moment it is no longer feasible to deploy and conduct the elections. NYSC has advised us that many parents have called to withdraw their children from election duty. Since they form the bulk of election duty personnel, their withdrawal is a major challenge.
