Following intense pressure from security agencies,
the Independent National Electoral Commission
will postpone the Edo State governorship election
by two weeks.
The election had earlier been scheduled for
Saturday September 10, 2016.
Insider source confirmed that the election may
now hold in two weeks
There has been apprehension if the election will
go ahead, but a reliable source within the INEC
confirmed that the election has been postponed.
Investigations further revealed that the police
pulled out it’s personnel while the National Youth
Service Corp (NYSC) refused to deployed Corps
members for the Saturday exercise.

The source said that it appears impossible for
INEC to deploy staff and material.
He said, “There is no security to escort them
simply because they are unavailable. The security
agencies are going to formally communicate their
security advise to us in a short while
“We shall meet to take a decision. At the moment
it is no longer feasible to deploy and conduct the
elections
NYSC has advised us that many parents have
called to withdraw their children from election
duty. Since they form the bulk of election duty
personnel, their withdrawal is a major challenge.”
