Southern Ijaw: Bayelsa REC Goes Underground, Under Pressure To Resign by zik4ever: 11:44am On Dec 10, 2015
…SGF wants him arrested by DSS

About 48 hours after the cancellation of the rescheduled governorship
election in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, the
whereabouts of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Baritor Kpagih,
still remains unknown.
“Kpagih has fled Yenagoa to unknown destination for fear of his life. The
Office of the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), David
Babachir Lawal, is also mounting pressure on the DSS to arrest the REC for
a yet to be declared reason”, one of his friends stated.

According to him, some other friends, family members of the REC and
members of Deeper Life Bible Church where he fellowships have urged him to
consider resigning from his exalted position if that would safe him from
the jaws of the APC leadership.

Sources also said said that the REC had decided to go underground
following threats to his life by some persons who are not comfortable with
the cancellation.
The decision of the REC to go into hiding came less than than 24 hours
after the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in
Bayelsa State election, Chief Timipre Sylva demanded for the sack of
Kpagih, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

It was learnt that strange he has been receiving text message and calls
from hidden numbers urging him to “reverse the cancellation of the
election” in Southern Ijaw LGA or risk his life.

But Kpagih remained unmoved insisting that the action of INEC was within
the ambience of the laws of the land and in fulfilment of the commission’s
mandate to conduct a credible election.

He said if the process had been allowed to go on, it would have rubbished
all the gains recorded by the commission in recent times.

Hehehehehe grin grin grin

In Southern Ijaw LGA, Sylva and APC took the bull by the horns and went for broke! shocked

If they feel so confident they beat PDP by more than 40 thousand votes in just one LGA, why are they sacred of having another go at it! undecided
