By Odo Ogenyi,Uyo

Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC to be accountable and transparent during the result collation of the governorship and State House of Assembly elections. 

Edo who was speaking after casting her vote at unit 2 Awa Iman ward 1, Onna local government area, Akwa Ibom State, Edo said it would not be fair to allow the wrong people govern the state or the peoples’ votes not to count, urging the electoral body to put their integrity to work.

Edo who described her ward as peaceful observed that many voters did not turn up for the elections as experienced using the presidential election and expressed hope that more people will come out before the end of the exercise.

“I expect INEC to be accountable and put their integrity to work for once. Looking at the social media, you will see a lot of irregularities and Nigerians have totally lost confidence in INEC; it’s very unfortunate.

“So I’m hoping that to some level, they should be able to proof themselves worthy. I encourage them to do the right thing because the world is watching and besides, this state/country is ours, we can’t afford to leave it in the hands of the wrong people. If not, we will have ourselves to blame.” She said.
