Edo State Government and APC Clash Over Attack at Voter Registration Centre
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Edo State government and the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have engaged in a heated exchange over a reported attack at the Idia College in Benin City. This venue is one of the locations for the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), which began on Monday under the auspices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

What They Are Saying

The Edo State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, accused the APC of orchestrating the attack, which allegedly occurred on Tuesday. He condemned the incident, stating:

“The state government strongly condemns the recent attack and shooting at Idia College a couple of days ago, which led to the injury of an innocent student. To say the least, this is most troubling, disheartening, and shameful and is never a way to play the opposition role expected of a responsible opposition party.”

Nehikhare expressed his dismay at the idea that a political party would resort to violence to disrupt voter registration:

“It is utterly appalling that a political party would resort to attacking a CVR centre to obstruct eligible voters from registering to participate in an election that they are contesting. One is left to wonder how the APC plans to get the electorate to vote for their candidate.”

In response, APC’s state publicity secretary, Prince Uwadae Igbinigie, denied the allegations and blamed the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the attack. He described the accusation as cheap blackmail by the state government to conceal the true culprits:

“Police are already on the trail of the troublemakers, and when apprehended, their identities will reveal that they were members of the PDP.”

Why It Matters

Voter registration is a crucial component of the electoral process, essential for ensuring free and fair elections. The recent attack at the registration site in Edo State raises serious concerns about the security of the upcoming elections, potentially deterring voters due to safety fears. This incident highlights the intense rivalry between political parties and the government in Edo State, indicating that the forthcoming elections will be closely watched and likely contentious.

Bottom Line

The clash between the Edo State government and the APC over the attack at the Idia College voter registration centre underscores the volatile political climate in the state. Ensuring the safety and integrity of the electoral process is paramount. Authorities must conduct a thorough investigation and enhance security measures to reassure voters and uphold democratic principles. The developments in Edo State will undoubtedly be a focal point in the run-up to the elections, reflecting broader concerns about electoral violence and political accountability in Nigeria.
