Benin City, Edo state – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Edo state, Senator Monday Okpebholo, is not a registered voter, hence, he is out of the race,
The PDP said this was discovered by checks in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal.
This was disclosed on the PDP X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @OfficialPDPNig on Friday, July 12.
The PDP alleged that the APC submitted to INEC a blurred and unreadable voter card purporting to be that of Okpebholo.
According to the statement, the discovery is a clear implication is that any vote cast for the APC in the September 21, 2024 governorship election would be a void vote and effort in futility.
