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.
He said there were reported incidents like
deliberate delays and diversion of electoral
materials, attacks on electoral officers, widespread
arson and voter intimidation.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Rivers,
Mrs Gesila Khan, said INEC cancelled election in
centres with reported electoral malpractices.
She said re-run elections took place in six local
government areas in the state where electoral
malpractices were reported.
He had also served with the Bauchi state
government from 1983 to 1992, rising to the
position of a Deputy Director, before transferring
his service to the Nigeria Deposit Insurance
Corporation, where he finally delved into the private
sector as a professional builder.

Lol bro please take it easy. ...

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.
