The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has
accused the Independent National Electoral
Commission of denying it access to photocopies of
result sheets for the 2015 general elections in the
state.
The APC said electoral frauds, including thumb-
printing of ballot papers, were going on in INEC
offices across the state under the supervision of the
State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mrs. Gesila
Khan.
The Director of Communications of the state APC’s
campaign team, Greater Together Organisation, Mrs.
Ibim Semenitari, said in a statement issued in Port
Harcourt on Friday that while the Peoples Democratic
Party had been given unfettered access to
thumbprint ballot papers, the APC was shot out from
getting election materials that would be presented as
evidence to the tribunal.
The APC explained that the post-election thumb-
printing by the PDP was to ensure that the results
declared corresponded with the figures allocated to
candidates.
The statement read, “The Resident Electoral
Commissioner in Rivers State has barred APC agents
from accessing the INEC premises to photocopy
result sheets for the last elections in preparation for
the party’s appearance at the tribunal.
“Since our agents began to visit INEC office, they have
been witnesses to gross misconduct and extensive
electoral fraud going on in the INEC headquarters
under the meticulous supervision of the REC and the
head of administration Mr. Bocco.”
But INEC spokesperson in the State, Anthonia
Nwobu, told our correspondent that all applications
for certified true copies of documents by political
parties were being processed.
Nwobu explained that she was not aware of any
political party coming into INEC office to thumbprint,
adding that politicians should be aware that elections
in Rivers State were already over.
Similarly, Chairman, Media and Publicity of the PDP
Campaign Organisation, Mr. Emma Okah, described
APC’s allegation as false.
Okah urged the ruling PDP in the state to start
preparing its handover notes instead of raising false
alarm.

This is simple. They should just head to the tribunal. The court will simply subpoena the materials. Simple.

Everyone knows the Rivers election was a sham. The sad thing is that they didn't have to be so desperate, killing people and rigging because PDP would have still won, albeit with a slimmer margin. But their intense desperation and infectious cluelessness blinded them.

All the APC needs to do is get forensic experts to examine a handful of ballot papers! Gbam! Finish. Case dismissed.

As for That Gesila thing, the day of reckoning is coming for her. Mark this.
