JUST IN: Election Results To Be Cancelled In Rivers State by supereagle(m): 3:20am On Mar 29, 2015
Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi has said that he believes that today’s presidential elections held in the State were irreparably compromised, and the results must be cancelled.

According to Sahara Reporter, Amaechi, All Progressives Congress (APC) leader, alleges that interference on the party of the ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has adversely influenced the result of the contest. Claiming the PDP is working with officials and security agents to rig the contest by withholding result sheets, Amaechi says the results of the election today in Rivers cannot be trusted.

“The police [are] arresting everyone that is arrestable, the police carrying ballot boxes, they are also aiding PDP supporters,” Amaechi said.
He added all the election equipment and materials, especially result sheets, are in PDP agent hands. “I couldn’t vote. In the country, we’re doing very well. In Rivers State, we discovered that all the SPOs (supervising presiding officers) have stolen all the result sheets and disappeared. So we said that there will be no election until we see the result sheets.”

Amaechi claims he was accompanied by members of the press, for purposes of documenting the developments there. “I went with cameramen. I went with Channels, AIT and NTA. They did not see anywhere that we went to that you could identify that there were result sheets.”
Expressing his disappointment with INEC’s management of the electoral process in Rivers State, Amaechi also listed the names of officials he claims are working for the PDP, and how their affiliations ultimately jeopardize the contest. “Don’t forget that the INEC commissioner here was employed by the president,” he said. “So as far as she’s concerned, she says that there was an election and that all the result sheets are in the field.”

The two-term governor stated that voters in Rivers State should be calm, and not resort to violence. His statement comes as reports of violence grow, according to conversations with representatives from the CLEEN Foundation.
At the time of this report, yet another death was reported at a ward in Ogale, Eleme local government area in Rivers State. This joins a string of violent and criminal incidences that have characterized Election Day in the state.

Good move by Amaechi. voters should be calm and wait till the rest of the country receive their results, then they should protest peacefully and release all their evidence and videos on Youtube for the world to see. By the time election is reconducted in the state, it will be clear how popular PDP is in the state. One thing i regret so much is the failure of the card reader machines, it would have been so clear to GEJ how disappointed and angry Nigerians are with his government and PDP

Rubbish unrepentant government. I wonder how this man would be seeing himself now, looking back. Lets be focused till the end anyway, the enemies at Aso Rock will never want to go down without fighting hard. Imagine the amount of loot that will be exposed. Some people will collapse when they learn what has been going on in aso rock under pdp that kept our refineries crumbled, nnpc massively corrupt, impunity and indiscipline everywhere. You can just imagine! With so much oil boom amounting to trillions, millions of nigerians still roam about the streets unemployed

Based on the news(NTA) yesterday and even various reports from electorates in Rivers State, the election held there was a sham.

A lot of irregularities @ the wards especially Okrika and Khana LGAs.
