Oct. 9, 2024 - Daily Post Nigeria

In a statement he signed in reaction to the claims, Dr. Anugbum Onuoha, Resident Electoral Commissioner for Edo State, said the allegations are baseless, misleading, and completely devoid of truth.

He said INEC, under his leadership in Edo State, remains committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency, fairness, and integrity in all electoral processes. According to him: “The inspection of election materials is a fundamental right of all parties involved in election petitions, and it is a process that we are mandated by law to facilitate.

“In furtherance of this commitment, I wish to inform the public that the inspection of the election materials, including the BVAS devices, has been formally scheduled to take place tomorrow, October 9, 2024, at 10 am at the INEC Headquarters in Edo State. “All political parties and their representatives are invited to participate in this exercise, as per the legal procedures, to ensure transparency and adherence to the rule of law.
