The people of Edo State have called for the neutrality and professionalism of the electoral umpire, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
They urged the Commission to be neutral to ensure a free and fair election come September 21, 2024.
A concern group, the Edo Youth Collectives, warned that all eyes are on INEC to remain neutral and not to take side with any political parties.
Musa Iyoha, Secretary of the group, said the allegations that faulty BVAS machines were sent to strongholds of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, should be addressed.
Iyoha also urged the Commission to address allegations that the state Resident Electoral Commissioner is taking sides with the All Progressives Congress, APC.
