The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says the Edo State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Anugbum Onuoha will not be redeployed despite calls for his removal by Gov. Godwin Obaseki and the PDP.
Rotimi Oyekanmi – Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, made this known amid calls for Onuoha’s redeployment.
He urged the PDP to focus on the process of the election rather than the Resident Commissioner.
“The REC for Edo State will not be redeployed. The governorship election will be conducted on September 21, 2024 in 4,519 polling units, not in the REC’s office,” he said.
