The National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) responsible for Edo State, Prof. Rhoda Gumus, has vowed to uphold integrity during the upcoming governorship election, stating that she will not accept bribes.
In an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Gumus confidently asserted that her strong reputation would deter any attempts at bribery.
Gumus also provided crucial details about the election schedule, announcing that the accreditation of voters will commence at 8 a.m.
Voting is set to conclude at 2 p.m.; however, she assured that all accredited voters would still have the opportunity to cast their ballots regardless of the time.
Gumus 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.”
