The Edo Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in the September 21 (tomorrow) governorship election in the state, Anugbum Onuoha, has called on political parties in the state, to come forward with incriminating evidence against his competence.
Onuoha is a cousin to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television's Sunrise Daily on Friday, Onuoha said he is competent enough to conduct a free and fair election in Edo State, urging political parties to disregard allegations of likely favouritism peddled against him.
DAILY POST recalls that Edo PDP chairman, Tony Aziegbemi had asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to redeploy Onuoha over ties with Wike.
Aziegbemi had expressed a lack of confidence in the REC's ability to conduct a free and fair election in the state.
