Mr Matthew Iduoriyekemwen has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of collaborating with the Ahmed Makarfi led leadership of the party in misinforming the people of Edo State, saying that INEC’s deliberate bias in the issues raised from the primaries could destroy the party in Edo State.
Addressing journalists in Benin, Iduoriyekemwen who insisted that he remains the authentic candidate of the PDP and not Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, noted that INEC had deliberately refused to obey court orders on issues pertaining to the crisis between the mainstream of the party and the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the PDP.
According to him, “INEC has been behaving in a manner that has shown clear partisanship in the internal affairs of the PDP, openly making comments that tend to rubbish the court process.
When we were busy campaigning, reaching out to voters, to show INEC’s bias, on the 20th of June, one Deputy Director of Public Affairs in INEC said they won’t monitor Sheriff’s primaries.
In another event, the same man said INEC was yet to take a decision since Modu Sheriff has gone to court.
And some people said INEC did not monitor our primaries.
