Why we are not participating in Edo LG poll – FRSC

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Edo Sector Command, has announced that it is not participating in Saturday’s local government election because it was not invited.

‎According to him, the command’s exclusion from the exercise stems from a lack of an official invitation from the election stakeholders.

‎“My command is not involved. Well, we weren’t invited,” the official said.

Reacting to how the corps would navigate the 12-hour movement restriction scheduled from 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM, the official indicated that routine operations would have been suspended.

‎Bedford explained that the command would assess the situation before deciding on any traffic control measures.

“We will only assess the situation before we know what to do,” he said.

‎NAN recalls that 12 political parties were cleared by the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission to participate in the election into 18 local government areas of the state. (NAN)
