Jega Rejects APC Petition To Cancel Rivers Election by Ishilove: 1:13pm On Mar 31, 2015
INEC chairman, Attahiru Jega has brushed aside, the petition from the All Progressives Congress, asking the commission to cancel elections held in Rivers State.

Speaking at the collation centre in Abuja this morning, Jega said: “We do not believe the allegations are substantial enough to require the cancellation/rescheduling of the elections in Rivers

He also said: “Sunday morning, I received a petition from the All Progressives Congress (APC) demanding for the cancellation & rescheduling of elections in Rivers State.

“I circulated this memo to the Commission. We reviewed it and set up a 3 man Committee to Rivers and returned this morning with their observations”

“There were a number of points as to why the Commission should cancel/reschedule elections: (1)No elections (2)No result sheets (3)Substitution of officials.

“We cannot establish any cancellation or substitution of results and we sent a list of collation officers to the state

“Officials fail to show up to work for several reasons and it is up to the REC to substitute from the pool of officials they have

“We do not believe the allegations are substantial enough to require the cancellation/rescheduling of the elections in Rivers.

“The decison of the Comm is that we will take the results of the elections in Rivers state.

“We have taken measures to make sure that reoccurrences do not occur in the future”

Let's stop all this. It shouldn't amount to fight and all sort of things. JEGA is even making it seem like we are watching UEFA final.

Good move by jega.

It would have been scandalous if he cancelled it.


The returning officer's body language though. The man showed signs of someone who has been comprmised and his conscience was pricking him on national Television.

Though we all know PDP rigged massively in Rivers, so sure it was mama piss that wrote that result thats why that prof couldnt read it... meanwhile see how mature the APC member that raised the issue of Rivers presented his case not like that thug from PDP who was disgracing his generations cuz of money he will collect from Jona.... mtcheew

That man in white was putting on glasses, yet he could not see very well. They even provided him a lamp to read correctly, yet, ERROR.

SMH,

They should continue and stop wasting our precious time.
