The history of rigging election in Nigeria is as old as PDP --- Comrade Oshiomole

Speaking to State House reporters after meeting with the president in his office in Abuja,  he said he came to tell the president that members of his party tried to create the impression that Edo State had gone out of control, following alleged rigging of the local government election by the state government.


The governor noted that PDP politicians complaining about rigging in Edo State council election have no right to do so because rigging was their stock in trade, which he said he has now been able to put an end to.

“Well, the first question to ask is who is complaining? If an armed robber is complaining of being robbed, it is your choice as to how much weight to place on his complaints. The history of rigging election in Nigeria is as old as PDP. They have lived on it, they have perpetuated it, they have deepened it, they have feast on it, and they have even celebrated it.
