Fear As Serious FIGHT BURST Between Electorate And APC Chairman During Election In Edo- Full Video
A video obtained by *SaharaReporters* reveals a chaotic scene at a polling unit in Edo State during the ongoing governorship election, as tensions escalated over issues of vote buying and voter identification. The incident took place at polling unit 6 in Ikabigbo, where the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Jeret Tenebe, attempted to cast his vote without presenting a valid voter’ s card.
His efforts were immediately met with resistance by other voters present, who insisted that he must provide proper identification before being allowed to vote. This confrontation quickly turned into a disorderly situation, illustrating the deep frustrations and suspicions that linger over electoral integrity in parts of the state.
In the video, the chaos at the polling unit highlights the ongoing struggle against vote buying and the strict enforcement of voter identification laws. Eyewitnesses confirmed that Jeret Tenebe was prevented from voting, with voters at the polling station adamant that no one, regardless of position, should be exempt from the rules.
This incident coincides with a broader concern raised by YIAGA, a socio- political organisation that has been actively monitoring the elections in Edo State. Earlier, YIAGA condemned the prevalence of vote buying in several areas.
According to their election observers, party agents were seen offering bribes of N10, 000 to voters in multiple local government areas, including Ikpoba/Okha, Igueben, Esan West, Akoko Edo, Owan West, and Uhunmodi LGAs. A post on social media platform X detailed how both APC and PDP agents were involved in bribing voters at polling stations such as the Igueben- Idumoka Primary School Polling Unit in Ward 1, Igueben LGA.
The widespread reports of vote buying and electoral misconduct have sparked widespread controversy, casting a shadow over the integrity of the Edo State governorship election.
