Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has condemned the visit of the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki to its state office and collation centre on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Reported how Obaseki invaded INEC\u2019s collation centre unannounced around 2 am on Sunday and was walked out around 4:10 am.<\/p>\n

Obaseki had said that his visit was to get first-hand information even as he was, however, told that his presence was not needed there.<\/p>\n

At about 3 AM, a combined team of policemen led by DIG Mba and personnel of the Nigerian Army entered the premises and by 4:10 am, escorted Obaseki out of the premises.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the controversies during a press conference on Sunday, INEC\u2019s National Commissioner and Member Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Haruna said the move by Obaseki and others was uncalled for.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are similarly disturbed by the overnight presence and demonstrations by some political actors and their supporters at our State Head Office ahead of the commencement of final collation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions are uncalled for. Nobody should disrupt the process at any stage and no one will be allowed to benefit from lawlessness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
