Original: OsazuwaAkonedo NewsChronicles ~ I’m Wike’s Cousin, Nigerians Should’ve Asked If My Conscience Is Active – Edo REC ~ Osaz
The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Edo State has acknowledged that he is a cousin of Minister Nyesom Wike, saying Nigerians should instead have asked whether his conscience is active. The remark comes amid controversy over his role in Edo State's governorship election and accusations of bias, with critics linking his family ties to Wike and the All Progressives Congress to concerns about the poll's fairness, while the commissioner insists he acted with integrity.
Why now: His admission of a family link to a powerful minister during a contested election has reignited debate over electoral impartiality in Edo State.
