March 18, (THEWILL) – The deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Emana Duke Ambrose-Amawhe, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), not to disappoint the electorate in the ongoing governorship election.

She made this known at the Government Primary School, Esuk Mba, after casting her vote.

She expressed happiness with the smooth way the process is going on in her unit and said this should be replicated across the state.

“We expect INEC to follow due delligence and hold themselves by the creed they stand by, which is that people’s votes count.

“INEC should not disappoint the state so that confidence can be restored in the system.

“So far, the weather is clement, people have turned out early here and things are alright, the BVAS is working and hopefully this should be sustained across the state”, she said.

She said though her ward has been penned down as a flash point, she, however, advised the electorate to be bold enough to come out and cast their votes.

She added that they are against vote buying and forcing people to vote against their wishes stressing that the agents are expected to act appropriately and expressed optimism that things will go in her favour.

Meanwhile voting at the Ikot Edem Odo Ward 8, PU006 at 10:19 and has 434 voters.

No challenge was recorded as things went on smoothly.
