The All Progressives Congress, APC, has removed Governor Hope Uzodimma as Chairman of the Edo State Elections Committee after the controversy that trailed Saturday’s governorship primary in Edo State.
His Cross River State counterpart, Bassey Otu, was named as his replacement.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the APC National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Argungu, said the Cross River governor has now been saddled with the responsibility of conducting the re-run poll slated for today, February 22.

The change came a few hours after four leading aspirants called for Uzodimma’s replacement.
Aspirants like Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Chief Lucky Imasuen, Senator Monday Okpebholo and General Charles Airhiavbere (retd.) said they no longer trust his ability to conduct a free and fair election following the controversy that trailed Saturday’s poll.
