There have been concerns over the relationship between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and Onuoha.
This comes following the ongoing feud between Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki and Wike following Obaseki’s defection to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
As a result, the governor and the national leadership of the PDP have expressed fears that Onuoha would influence the election to favour the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Reports indicate that the PDP chairman in Edo State, Anthony Aziegbemhin, submitted a formal protest letter to INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu, demanding Onuoha’s immediate redeployment.
The letter read in part, “The ties between these two are too close to ignore as they share familiarities and are also close associates.
The Edo REC is a cousin to the Minister of the FCT, Mr. Wike. He also served as a former Commissioner and Special Adviser for Lands, Survey, and Housing to Mr Wike during his tenure as Rivers governor.”
In response to the PDP’s demands, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, stated that the REC would not be redeployed, and advised the PDP to focus on the election process rather than Onuoha.
“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.

In the same manner, polling unit results will be declared by the respective Presiding Officers after the voting, ballot sorting and counting processes, in the presence of accredited party agents and other stakeholders.”▶For More READ THE FULL STORY▶▶
