Reports just reaching us from Bayelsa State say Niger Delta ex-militants have disrupted the election in Amassoma ward of Ijaw South Local Government Area.

The militants carrying firearms are said to have chased away the voters and INEC officials conducting the exercise in the area.

INEC officials, journalists and other stakeholders are reported to have scampered to safety.

Soldiers and other security personnel who accompanied the INEC ad hoc staff are trying to stop the ex-militants.

Voting in Ijaw South Local Government Area was scheduled to commence at 6PM.

“Severe Militant Activities”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on Saturday rescheduled the governorship election in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

An official of INEC, Professor Mustapha Leki, announced the rescheduled election at the headquarters of INEC in Yenagoa, the capital of the State. He said the INEC experienced major disturbances and challenges in a number of places, especially the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area.

“These were occasioned as a result of severe militant activities. As a result of this development and working in conjunction with security agencies, our first concern is to take steps to stabilise the situation to ensure the safety of electoral officials and the security of materials,” he told reporters.

He said that the development had hindered the distribution of election materials to polling units in distant places in good time for voting to commence.

According to him, the situation had been stabilised for voting to take place in the affected areas on Sunday.

So the militants are PDP....oh ok now it makes sense

You call them militants, but they call themselves freedom fighters. So what's the difference. Does Al Queda call itself a terrorist organization.

Hmmmm

Now they'll start blaming themselves... APC Vs PDP

I don't like this partiality. If it is Boko Haram they will use terrorist if is Niger delta they will called them militant and if it's Biafra they will call them freedom fighter. Imo all off them are terrorists as what they do match definition of terrorism.

...Voting in Ijaw South Local Government Area
was scheduled to commence at 6PM....

Voting by 6pm, in such violence prone area... INEC sef.... Their own wahala too much...

We are back to the days of do or die elections.. No thanks to those who voted for change.

Timpere Sylva has flown into Abuja from Bayelsa this
afternoon , and he is currently in a closed door meeting with
El Rufai and the Secretary Genral of the Federation Babachir Lawal,

One begin to wonder why Sylva will abandon Bayelsa State
for Abuja at this critical moment when results are being
collated and Elections are ongoing in Southern Ijaw.
Nigerians must be alert , n resist any form rigging.

Peoples destruction Party and their armed wing at work..

.APC has brought bck the politics of do or die in Nigeria. It's either they go the thuggish way, or force the court against the PDP.
I hate everything about this change.

Stop talking nonsense

ok

iranu

Now can you see what I was saying. We have eyes in every office. There was a heated debate via intercom at 14:00 GMT, today between the top APC hierarchy. The chairman is not in favour of the drastic action about to be carried our by some thieving members of the NWC.

Only true federalism will save Nigeria. Otherwise anarchy beckons.

Hmmmmmmmm... It is well.

End time militant

Hmmmmm...The polity is not just heated, it is on fire. Literally.
