Atedo Peterside, president and founder of Anap foundation has made a strong revelation on the results of the Edo governorship election.
Okpebholo was declared the winner of Saturday’s governorship election despite protests from PDP supporters, who argued that the results were fabricated and did not reflect the true will of the people.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Okpebholo garnered 291,667 votes, defeating Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who secured 247,274 votes. Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) finished a distant third with 22,761 votes.

Demonstrations erupted in parts of the state capital and outside the heavily guarded INEC collation centre.
Earlier, Governor Obaseki had stormed the centre to protest the exclusion of PDP agents but was escorted out by armed security personnel.
At the collation centre, PDP agent Tony Iyoha called for the suspension of the entire election, citing alleged irregularities. Similarly, the PDP state chairman, Anthony Aziegbemi, pointed out discrepancies between figures on the EC8 form and those on INEC’s IReV platform.
The PDP Governors’ Forum also urged INEC to respect the will of Edo voters, alleging widespread electoral malpractices.
Led by Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, the PDP governors questioned the accuracy of some announced results, stating they did not match those on the IReV platform.
