Recall that there were reports of series of violence and ballots snatching in the elections, although the police said the poll was largely peaceful.

For instance, some thugs were said to have snatched election materials around 2.30pm at three units in WIiyaakara Ward, Khana Local Government Area.

There we also reports in Bori, also in Khana, INEC officials were reportedly scared of stepping out of their offices to conduct the election because of threats from persons wearing fake military uniform.

Meanwhile, the state government has accused the All Progressives Party of colluding with the military to hijack election materials in the state.

teadrake:
Report by PDP?When does the opposition party turned himself to a media house? Anyway,Olisah Metuh claimed he received #400M from GEJ to carried out a media assignment.
Meanwhile,Emergency session over what is currently happening in Rivers state is long overdue.
#Please don't compare what happened in Benue over what is happening in Rivers now. the former was a fight between a dominance and recessive,while the latter is between dominance and co-dominace

chukwudi44:

I think you are sick!! Over 500 people have been massacred in agatu alone in one day and more are still been killed on daily basis,how many people died during this election?

teadrake:

So,resorting to insult was the only way to pass a message? It is evident you're not well brought up mannerly,physiologically and mentally if not you opted to have sensed insults which you first drew is associated to a fool and a despicable human being

But how many emergency meetings has Mohammed Buhari held over the ongoing killings by the Fulanis all over the country? Only a complicit president would claim not to realize it as the topmost national emergency. If the president continue with the path, more and more Nigerians will feel alienated with his conspicuously islamic-leaning administration.

chukwudi44:

Whom did Wike kill? BTW There is absolutely nothing Buhari can do to Wike.He is more of a man than Buhari

chukwudi44:

Where is the insult? You brushed aside the genocide happening in the middle belt to comment on the less deadly Rivers crisis because of your political leanings!! You should be ashamed of yourself. APC has lost in Rivers state and there is nothing Buhari can do about it.
