This was contained in a statement issued via its X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @OfficialPDPNig on Sunday, September 22.

“The PDP in the strongest terms cautions the APC and INEC not to announce or declare any result that does not reflect the Will of the people as expressed at the Polling Units. Such will be a recipe for a huge crisis in the State as the people of Edo State will never allow their mandate in illegitimate hands.”

The PDP insisted that its candidate, Asue Ighodalo won the Saturday, September 21 governorship election in Edo state.

”As Governor Fintiri presented, the results collated from the Polling Units have Asue Ighodalo in clear lead before the State collation exercise was hijacked by the APC which, in connivance of some unscrupulous INEC and security officials, engaged in blatant alteration and substitution of the genuine results with fabricated figures in favour of the defeated APC candidate.”
