Okpebholo's Victory: I am Mourning the Blatant Rape and Murder of Our Democracy in Edo - Odigie

I had earlier warned about the APC's plan to rig the Edo election, but more so, I am ashamed that this quantum rigging occurred under the leadership of a pro democracy president. What transpired on Saturday can best be described as horrible, this is the worst off cycle election in Nigeria's history
