Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Asue Ighodalo, has cast his ballot at Idionrio primary school, Ward 1 Unit 3 in Ewohimi, Esan South East Local Government Area of the state.
This was after voting reportedly commenced about 11:45 am due to lateness on the part of officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as voters had arrived as early as 7 am.
Security operatives, as well as newsmen, were also sighted loitering in wait for the INEC officials.
An angry voter, Christopher Adoghe had berated the officials for delay in the start of accreditation and voting.
“We have been here since 7 O’clock yet, no sight of INEC officials. This is almost 10 and nothing is happening. We no go gree o! We no even see INEC. We no see anybody. Only security men.
“See as everybody sat, but no sign of INEC. No accreditation, nothing is going on”, he said in an outburst in broken English.
The gubernatorial elections in Edo State are holding today, with over 2.2 million permanent voter cards collected.
