The Senior Pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, has said elections in Nigeria are being monetized to the highest bidders. Pastor Giwa said electoral officers are being used to “select” and not as umpires superintending over the election of leaders.

Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house of representatives, says the outcome of the Edo governorship election shows the nation’s democracy is “maturing”.

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State governorship election, Asue Ighodalo, has decries that the election could be remembered as the worst election in Nigeria’s history due to numerous alleged irregularities.
