Candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the ongoing Edo State governorship election, Mr. Osaro Onaiwu, has called for the cancellation of the poll.

While admitting that “the turnout was impressive because Edo people wanted change,” Osaro alleged that the exercise was fraught with financial inducement and violence.

According to him, “The people were disenfranchised by the PDP and APC. This is not the democracy we laboured for, not the kind democracy we want to leave for our children.

“I asked for the cancellation since 2pm (Wednesday) because there was no election. There was no election. In my unit where I voted, the APC thugs went there and they took the ballot box,” he alleged.
