Election Tribunal Sacks Speaker And 20 House Of Assembly Lawmakers In Rivers by mohince(m): 7:24pm On Oct 26, 2015
Elections petition tribunals sitting in Abuja have nullified the
election of the Speaker, Owaji Ibani from Andoni
constituency and 20 lawmakers in Rivers state house of
assembly. The lawmakers were elected on the platform of
the Peoples Democratic Party on April 11 2015 in an
election marred by vote rigging and violence.
The judgements given today by the relevant tribunals in
Abuja is bound to compound the case of the governor of the
state, Nyesom Wike, who was sacked last week by a
tribunal under the same circumstances. There are 32 state
lawmakers in Rivers state with the election of 21 members
nullified the state assembly will no longer form a quorum as
to continue to function.

This tribunal has taken another dimension o. If as APC said, there was no election in Rivers, then it stands to reason

PDP will be sent packing by January 2016 when all these litigations must have come to an end...

CTC Governor WikeD has gone on a signing spree to loot as much as possible before his weak case is thrown out by the Supreme Court one after the other.

Ndi ara. They quickly cancelled the HOE elections just because people cried foul after Wike's saga.

So, who will now be the acting governor?

APC members are full of mad fellows.

Keep on causing anarchy in Rivers. angry

What I know is even the international observers that were present during the election in Rivers called for the cancellation of the election. Are they also biased and sponsored by APC?
‘’ We request all lovers of democracy to join us in calling for the outright cancellation of the phony election.

‘’ Unless this is done, we would have sown the seed that could eventually grow into providing a shade of fear and death over us,’’ he said.

According to Bekaren, what happened in Rivers was a far cry from what election should be.

‘’ What we saw did not meet international standard of electioneering, not even the ones set by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC,’’ he said.

Most people who comments on issues concerning Rivers state election just talk for talking sake. They don't know what happened in Rivers state b4, during and after d election. What we witnessed in Rivers state during d election was warfare. B4 d election, impunity reigned. APC and other political parties were barred by the power that be from campaigning, holding political rallies and meetings in so many towns, communities and local govts in Rivers state. People were brutally murdered, houses burnt, properties destroyed. In fact, Rivers people were living in real fear particularly those supporting APC in Rivers state. I was myself beaten up by some PDP supporters in d presence of my own elder brother who is a PDP supporter just for voting APC in my polling unit without my own brother intervening. Something I cant do to him despite our differences. This was how bad the politics in Rivers state got. Even Governor Wike's own brother Barrister Tasie Wike was shot at in his own community in Rumuepirikom for being an APC.In Rumuibo and Rumuepirikom, which is Governor Wike's community in Obio/Akpor LGA, friends parted ways, like in Rumuigbo and Rumuepirikom,If ur in PDP u dare not stay or parley with somebody from the opposing camp even if u both of u have been childhood friends. It was just d victory of Buhari that saved a lot of lives in Rivers state I swear. I condemn any kind of political violence whether from APC or the PDP.
