offense on President B andu statements
4:19
who was only then APC National Chief the
4:23
20123 presidential election that got
4:26
president B andu into power as Nigeria
4:29
president has been an issue of concern
4:32
to many Scots of people believed that
4:35
the 2023 election was filled with
4:38
irregularities violence
4:40
disenfranchisement of eligible voters
4:43
manipulation of election results among
4:45
other insinuations or allegations but
4:47
the Nigeria supreme court of justice
4:49
ruled that the political parties and
4:50
candidates who contested the 2023
4:53
presidential election outcome in court
4:55
were not able to prove their case of
4:56
widespread margins of irregularities
4:59
manipul of election results violence
5:02
disenfranchisement even though the Apex
5:04
Court noted that there were isolated
5:06
cases of the allegations which were not
5:08
enough to rule otherwise against B AMU
5:10
who was declared winner by the
5:12
independent National electoral
5:13
Commission in Governor obaseki had
5:17
refused to sign the traditional routine
5:19
peace Accord agreement on the ground
5:21
that those who ought to be the promoters
5:23
of Peace are already causing violence
5:25
ahead the gubernatorial election by
5:27
those intimidating harassing and ARR ing
5:30
members of his political party PDP to
5:33
weaken the chances of PDP winning the
5:35
areas where they arrested and detained
5:37
party chiens H from saying the
5:40
authorities at the federal government
5:42

5:58
orties in Benning Kingdom to Abol any
6:01
Act of Calamity before during and after
6:03
the governorship
6:05
election my dear good people of Edo
6:09
state in the last few months the various
6:12
political parties have embarked on very
6:15
rigorous campaigns to sell their
6:17
respective candidates for the office of
6:19
Governor to the people of Edo state in
6:22
an exercise which came to a climax
6:26
yesterday the attractive thing about
6:29
democracy
6:30
is the power it bestows on the people to
6:34
choose who governs
6:35
them therefore when this power is
6:39
blatantly seized from the people it is
6:42
not just a tragedy but a travesty of
6:45
democracy regrettably the outcome of the
6:49
September 21st governorship election
6:52
appears to have daunted the spirit of
6:54
manyo people who feel powerless in the
6:57
face of the Brute Force
7:00
of the institutions that are supposed to
7:02
protect them it is therefore
7:05
understandable that many people feel sad
7:08
and AG
7:09
grieved but in the midst of this despair
7:13
I'm urging all my fellow Ado citizens to
7:16
maintain calm and not resort to violence
7:20
and the destruction of property in spite
7:22
of this
7:24
provocation peace and Justice will
7:27
always win at the end and and this is my
7:30
prescription to all the good people of
7:33
Edo State who feel vexed and violated in
7:36
this time clearly it is obvious to the
7:39
least dis earning the amount of impunity
7:42
and Reckless disregard for processes and
7:45
law that was displayed in this kuari
7:48
election in a democracy there are always
7:51
safeguards for addressing Grievances and
7:55
we hope that all those affected will
7:58
seek resolution for this blatant
8:00
disregard of Law and process with this
8:03
in mind I implore all Edo people to go
8:07
about their lawful businesses and rest
8:09
assured of the commitment of our
8:11
government to your well-being and
8:14
security God Bless the people of endo
8:16
states God bless the federal republic of
8:19
Nigeria pleas to condom of access
8:23
thereby restricting movement in the area
8:26
it took the protest of Governor obasi to
8:29
make an entry into the state in office
8:32
and register the displeasure of the PDP
8:34
with the irregularities of the Coalition
8:37
process at the point of the truncation
8:40

any Coalition taking place um and the
11:21
wck refused to come out to explain what
11:25
the situation was subsequently the D

11:32
meeting with me where I explained
11:34
that if in was postponing or stopped the

Collis process then as part of their
11:40
rules they should inform the public or
11:43
the citizens what next I said at 300
