Edo Governorship Election: I Cannot Take Bribe No Matter How Much, INEC Commissioner Vows
She explained that accreditation of voters would start at 8am, saying voting was supposed to end at 2pm but every accredited person would be allowed to vote.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), National Commissioner in charge of Edo, Prof. Rhoda Gumus, has stated that nobody would dare approach her with a bribe because of her reputation.
Gumus who made this known during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, promised not to collect bribes during the governorship election in the state.
She explained that accreditation of voters would start at 8am, saying voting was supposed to end at 2pm but every accredited person would be allowed to vote.
She added that the Edo governorship election would be the best conducted by INEC.
She said; “I am in charge of Edo. I want to do the right thing, even though I will not be everywhere. We will conduct this election in a free, fair and credible manner. I cannot take bribes no matter how much. I don’t have to take billions to do what is right. Nowhere, nobody will try.
“Nobody will try me. You know in any office you are in this country they know everything about you. And when they know they will not come near. If I see it, I will not allow it. You won’t believe that since we started this process every day, I am on the platform with the EOCs.
“In five two minutes or five-minute intervals I will enter the platform to know what is happening. If there is anything I would correct. That is what I have been doing.”
