INEC Declares Rivers Re-Run INCONCLUSIVE by sosanova: 3:38am On Mar 21, 2016 |
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, INEC Chairman Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission has suspended all the election in all constituencies in the state. In a statement late on Sunday, the commission said it ordered the suspension, pending the receipt of a comprehensive report from its field officials and monitors. INEC had already cancelled election in eight local councils in the state because of violence. Clarifying it’s latest order, INEC said “the suspension does not affect constituencies where the exercise has been completed and the results declared by the returning officers”. No result so far has been declared officially in the rerun poll for state and national Assembly seats. But INEC said results are ready in one Federal Constituency and 11 state assembly seats. Elaborating on the suspension, INEC’s Director in charge of Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, said: “Rather unfortunately, some of these elections witnessed the disruption of the process, including the barricading of some of the INEC Local Government offices and Registration Area Centres (RACs) used for the distribution of Electoral materials which led to the late commencement of the exercise in some places and consequently, its smooth take off. “Of more serious concern was the level of threats, violence and intimidation of election officials and voters by well-armed thugs and miscreants allegedly acting on behalf of some politicians, which marred the elections in some areas. “There were reports of numerous attacks resulting in fatalities, kidnappings, ballot snatching, diversion of officials and materials, amongst others, which necessitated its suspension in eight Local Government Areas. “Regrettably, such deviant behaviour has continued today. Several permanent and ad hoc staff engaged have been attacked, again resulting in fatalities, while some have been forcibly abducted and taken to presently unknown destinations”. Mr Osaze-Uzzi, stressed that under such difficult circumstance, the Returning Officers were only able to collate and declare results in one Federal and nine State constituencies where the disruption and malpractices were not so widespread. “Having reviewed the situation, the Commission is compelled to suspend all further action concerning the exercise in all the other constituencies in the State pending the receipt of a comprehensive report from its Field Officials and Monitors. “For the avoidance of doubt, it should be noted that the suspension does not affect the constituencies where the exercise has been completed and the results declared by the Returning Officers”. INEC had earlier suspended election in eight local government areas of the state. Addressing reporters earlier on Sunday the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Aniedi Ikoiwak, said that the cancelation was due to irregularities at the affected local government areas. Election held in Etche and Asari-Toru Local Government Areas were the latest to be cancelled. In a press statement, the INEC said: “Further to our earlier pronouncement on the suspension of the re-run in the six Local Government Areas of Khana, Bonny, Gokana, Andoni, Tai and Eleme, following disturbances and violence that impeded the electoral process in those parts of the state, it has become necessary to suspend elections in Etche and Asari-Toru LGAs for the same reasons. “Please note that the suspension of the re-run elections by INEC is necessitated by the need to forestall breakdown of law and order in the event of further aggravation of crisis. “INEC needs to put all stakeholders on notice that we are still studying the situation in the other fifteen LGAs, where collations are currently going on”. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2016/03/21/inec-declares-rivers-assembly-polls-inconclusive/ 2 Likes 1 Share

Sometimes I ask myself Are Nigerians different species of human race? A group that refuse to learn from history. This is the same episode that took place in Western Nigeria region during the first republic like half a century ago; one the crisis that culminated in civil war. Its happening in this modern time after much education, development and wider travels and technological advances. Who can proffer an acceptable pragmatic solutions to this perennial problem?

INEC has failed in its constitutional duty, yes I said so with all sense of humor. Who says PMB is in charge? When he as the President of the federal Republic of Nigeria can not urge the electoral body under his watch to conduct an election that will be free and get public recommendation,rather than end in Inconclusive. Then I fear for 2019 because it is so clear that same rascal it in the name of an election will play out. 24 Likes |

With almost all the elections conducted post-Jega's era being declared inconclusive, I only wonder what will happen in the 2019 general elections. INEC needs to get its act together and be more meticulous in its planing. INEC performance in Rivers state shows that it was grossly unprepared for that election and the violence that greeted the election only added to its difficulty. 16 Likes |

DEAR MR INEC CHAIRMAN It is only your tenure that we heard the word 'inconclusive' elections. Your Inconclusiveness of electoral processes has caused terrible tensions around the country and caused deaths of many lives. My state of Kogi is a case in point where your inclusiveness has made the gubernatorial issue to remain Inconclusive till now. I advise you to conclusively organize yourselves or else your tenure will end inconclusively soon. -OPALUwa 35 Likes 1 Share |
