In his affidavit, Chief Patrick Eholor said that the governor, Mr Obaseki has refused/neglected to ask EDSIEC to conduct elections into the local government councils within the state, in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution.

Constitution guaranteed; and accordingly, the
Governmenf of every state shall subject to Section 8 of this Constitution, ensure their existence under

such councils.”

He asked the court for the following:

“An order that the Edo State governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki mandate the Edo State Independent Electoral Commission to conduct the LGA elections of the Edo State Government;

An order that the refusal, failure or neglect by the Governor to mandate EDSIEC to conduct the LGA elections, 5 months after the expiration of the tenures of the past LG Chairmen is a violation of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which he swore to protect and uphold”.
