#EdoDecides: Gov El-Rufai Did Not Visit Edo State Today – Aide replies Ize-Iyamu claims

Malam Nasir El-Rufai did not visit Edo State today, Wednesday, 28 September 2016. Contrary to the fiction peddled by one of the candidates who made the accusation on live television.

While movement may be restricted on election days, that is not the same thing as construing the presence of any citizen in a state holding elections as illegal, unusual or irregular.
