“I do not have any personal or professional ties with the FCT Minister,” Iwo stated, adding that while associating with Wike might be a point of pride, their paths have never crossed in any capacity.
He added, “The CP is not an electoral umpire as such, I cannot determine the outcome of an election as more senior officers, including two DIGs, AIGs, CPs and other senior officers have been deployed to supervise the conduct of Edo election.
