I think INEC did the right thing here. there was confrontation between the police and the military men right at the INEC office. this is aside hoodlums that were hanging around the area, awaiting any slight opportunity to strike. the suspension is best in the interest of all
yes until everywhere cold, then announce but if them say Re-election yawa

APC is giving Wike a run for his money. Inec should allow the election go on. Amaechi will make an unknown Party defeat the lousy Wike.

Re: Rivers: Election Suspension, Illegal – APC Slams INEC by Sunsets: 10:33pm On Mar 10, 2019
Same script, different cast. Preplanned postponement. Go to Rivers, foment trouble, INEC will cancel the election and move it to a much more rigging friendly day, then go for Wike's jugular with the full evil forces of Navy, Airforce, Army, Police (FSARS), ... But we say, Holy Ghost Fire!!!!!!!!
Abiboss:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been berated for suspending all processes relating to Saturday’s Governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.


All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council in Rivers state, while reacting to the suspension also described the decision as illegal and not having any legal backing.

A statement signed by the Director, Strategic Communications of the APC Campaign Council in Rivers state, Prince Tonye T.J.T Princewill also said INEC’s decision would not save the state Governor, Nyesom Wike from losing the elections, even as he challenged the electoral umpire to declare results of areas where elections already took place.


“INEC’s decision is illegal because it is not supported by law. Section 296 of the Electoral Act cited in the INEC Press Release is not even applicable because that section deals with a situation where a date has been appointed for the holding of an election, and there is reason to believe that a serious breach of the peace is likely to occur if the election is proceeded with on that date or it is impossible to conduct the election as a result of natural disasters or other emergencies, then the commission may postpone the election.

“You can see that this provision does not apply to a situation where an election has already been conducted or held, which is the present position in Rivers State.


“Since the elections in Rivers State have been held Saturday, INEC is bound by virtue of section 27 of the Electoral Act to announce the results. Having admitted in paragraph one of the Press Release that it has conducted elections on the 9th of March in Rivers State, INEC must by virtue of section 27 of the Electoral Act, announce the results.

“INEC’s decision to postpone the already held elections is ultra vires, illegal and unconstitutional. Such an unlawful decision can now be challenged in court by virtue of section 26 subsection 5 of the Electoral Act. The challenge can be launched by any of the many contestants at a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction and on such a legal challenge, the decision of INEC shall also be suspended until the matter is determined.


“Our concerns about INEC and our lack of faith in the REC are continually validated. This was same way they suspended a by election we held a few months ago when it was clear we were winning. Now, the AAC candidate and several House of Assembly candidates supported by APC are cruising to victory and they do it again. Can they not just step out of the way and let the will of Rivers’ people prevail?

“Rivers state was largely peaceful. Why not deal with areas where you say you have violence and leave the other results to go through? It’s common sense. Why suspend a whole state? Wike will go. It is only a matter of time. We always knew this. Now the world knows it too. Not even INEC can save him”. The statement said.

I was so ashamed of my country when I saw what army did that night. I was one of the ad-hoc staff as an NYSC member.
I regretted being a Nigerian that night.
I used the F word for this country that night.
Army forcefully carrying corpers to APC chairmen houses to manipulate results.
I Thank God it's cancelled.

This is Buhari's Nigeria for you!

Buhari I say shame on you!!

Buhari if you were my father, no matter the so much billions you have looted for me, I will berate you and disown you as my father because I cannot stand the shame you have brought on our name in the name of politics!

People can you see nowhuh Whenever God refuses to answer a mans prayer or request, God knows why.

God knew why He refused Buhari becoming Nigeria's President several times, but crooks and political vultures gathered together and made him President, God allowed it so we can learn a lesson, now see what he has turned Nigeria into under 3 and half years, gosh!!!
Shut up,stupid animals in Rivers state,is it today you people have been behaving like savages?every election it is the same violence,shameless people.

Keep talking rubbish. Buhari is God’s choice and that was why he was able to beat Atiku even though Atiku has cabals like TY Danjuma, OBJ, IBB, Aliyu Gusau And so many other generals backing him. You can’t beat such people in Nigeria without God. Atiku is thief and God frowned on him. Simple as ABC.
