Adibe Emenyonu in Benin City
Ahead of the August 16 National Assembly bye-elections in Edo State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have differed sharply over call for the urgent redeployment of the state Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Dr. Anugbum Onuaha.
The PDP also asked that other key officer of the commission assigned in six local government areas of Oredo, Ikpoba-Okha, Egor, Etsako West, Etsako East, and Akoko Edo local government be redeployed, citing concerns over their credibility and impartiality.
