International Observers Call For Outright Cancelation Of Rivers Elections by maimalari: 9:00pm On Apr 12, 2015
International election observers on Sunday called for the cancellation of the Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Rivers.

The leader of African Centre for Leadership Strategies and Development, Mr Humphrey Bekaren, who spoke on behalf of the observers, made the call in Port Harcourt.

He said the observers were shocked that INEC disregarded the widely reported violent irregularities to begin the process of declaring results in the state.

“We request all lovers of democracy to join us in calling for the outright cancellation of the phony election.

“Unless this is done, we would have sown the seed that could eventually grow into providing a shade of fear and death over us,” he said.

According to Bekaren, what happened in Rivers was a far cry from what election should be.

“What we saw did not meet international standard of electioneering, not even the ones set by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC,’’ he said.

APC should go to bed

Conduct 30 rerun elections in rivers state, peterside wont get 20% in any

But they should be careful not initiate anarchy on an obvious matter.

We've seen pics of underage voters and ballot box snatchers in the north yet no one is calling for cancellation in those regions.

We heard of violence in Bauchi and Gombe.... yet no calls for cancellation. 

PDP gubernatorial losers have been calling their APC opponents in conceding their loses but their APC counterparts wont dare such.

Am disappointed with what happened in Rivers. No elections but results are announced and those who cheat are celebrating as winners. The most painful aspect is how people come online to defend these criminals who cheat them.

If international observers closed their eyes to the rigging that happened in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Niger during the presidential election, then they should go and die for calling for cancellation Rivers gubernatorial elections.
Wike has won and he is the choice of the Rivers people!

When next you wanna comment, make sure to employ the services of your brain. If you don't have one, you can as well borrow.

It says "international observers" and not APC. That is the crux of the matter here.

Heavy shootings have been reported in the Ojota area of Lagos, which were said to have started shortly before the formal announcement of the state governorship election, which was won by the All Progressives Congress candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode.

No one could give the identity of the feuding parties, neither has there been a confirmation of casualty figure.

Details later…

I want to understand something, on what basis should the election be cancelled, is that there was evidence of rigging, orrrrr just because there was violence?
