The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, visited the head office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the early hours of Sunday.<\/p>\n

This action, as disclosed by Daily Trust, prompted protests from supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the head office in Benin, Edo capital \u2013 the main collation centre for the ongoing governorship election.<\/p>\n

Obaseki, accompanied by security aides, entered the office of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for a closed-door meeting that lasted over an hour.<\/p>\n

The group of APC supporters argued that it was inappropriate for the Governor to engage with INEC officials during an active election.<\/p>\n

Tensions escalated as the protesters demanded transparency and fairness in the electoral process.<\/p>\n

The leader of the protesting group was eventually allowed to join the meeting with Obaseki and the REC, although details of their discussion remain undisclosed.<\/p>\n

Obaseki exited the INEC office around 4:45 a.m., but security personnel prevented journalists from questioning him about the meeting\u2019s content or the ongoing election.<\/p>\n

As of the time of this report, INEC had not yet commenced the official collation of results.<\/p>\n
