Edo Guber: The moment police walked Gov. Obaseki out of INEC’s office

Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki was on Sunday morning, September 22, reportedly forced out of the premises of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Benin by the DIG Frank Mba.

Vanguard reports that Obaseki had entered the promises unannounced at around 2 am allegedly to protest some anomalies in the collation of results of some local government areas including his Oredo.

Officials of INEC were said to have told him that he was supposed to be there just as the Peoples Democratic Party PDP candidate, Asue Ighodalo was sent back earlier but he was to have insisted to stay.

At about 3 am, a combined team of policemen led by DIG Frank Mba and soldiers entered the premises and by 4:10 am, he was escorted out of the premises by the security men who shouted at the governor, “Leave, leave.”

Minutes before Obaseki was led outside by Mba flanked by a contingent of policemen, All Progressives Congress National Secretary, Surajudeen Basiru, addressed journalists that the governor had no reason to be in the premises.

Basiru said, “He is not a candidate. He has no reason to be here”, describing the governor’s action as ab¥§£ of office.
