Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in the
House of Representatives, on Tuesday urged the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
to immediately release results of re-run elections
in Rivers.


Briefing newsmen in Abuja, the caucus led by
Minority Leader of the house, Rep. Leo Ogor,
condemned the suspension of the election, saying
it was strange to the country’s electoral laws.


According to it, in accordance with section 27of the
Electoral Act, the Constitution and all Supreme
Court judgements, elections were concluded, and
results had been announced at the unit levels.


“In this context, anything contrary to the
announcement of the result is a breach of all our
electoral laws and evidently a coup against the
people of Rivers State.


“It is very sad that it is the umpire, that is, the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
that is spearheading this illegality abetted by law
enforcement agencies, particularly the military
whose attention is needed in the North-East,’’ they
said.


The caucus also said that the conduct and actions
of INEC did not just show incompetence but a
regression from gains of the reformed electoral
system. (NAN)
