There is a link to the post.
Except you are saying politicsngr is lying. I cannot be the one lying because i have zero input to the post.

Note:
Returning officer is an INEC Adhoc staff appointed to head the collation of this particular election result. He is not a staff of INEC. Most times INEC use university lecturers as returning officers.

Resident Electoral Commissioner is the state head of INEC and he/she is a full staff of INEC.

And again suspension is not cancellation. However suspension can lead to cancellation or upholding of the results.

Why APC uses life threatening violence to win elections baffles me. This is a party that claims to be better than PDP. After ballot box snatching and destruction, APC will be declared winners. It happened in Kogi, now it is happening in Rivers. From which result? Written results in collaboration with INEC.

Apc were able to claim those seats because the original occupants (sekibo and olaka nwogu ) sold out for mere pottage.
