The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Edo Sector Command, says it will not participate in Saturday’s local government election in the state because it was not invited.

n

‎The State Sector Commander of the corps, Mr Preye Bedford, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Benin.

n

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

n

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

n

‎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.

n

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

n

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

n

‎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)
