INEC Rules Out Fresh Governorship Election In Rivers State by MadeInTokyo: 8:50am On Mar 31, 2019
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has ruled out the conduct of fresh governorship and House of Assembly elections in Rivers State.

This is as the governorship candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Biokpomabo Awara, walked out of the stakeholders’ meeting organised by INEC to continue the suspended March 9 elections in the state.

The meeting, which held at an event centre, located along Eastern Bye-Pass, Port Harcourt, was boycotted by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the Labour Party (LP).

Speaking at the meeting, INEC National Commissioner in-charge of Bayelsa, Rivers and Edo States, May Agbamuche-Mbu, emphasised that a fresh election would not be conducted in the state.

Agbamuche-Mbu, who stated that the commission would resume collation in Rivers State on April 2, 2019, said the objective of the meeting is to brief stakeholders on the activities and schedule of the collation by the electoral body.

In his remarks at the meeting, Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, who dismissed insinuations that the state is prone to violence, advocated the non involvement of the military during elections to guarantee free, fair, credible and peaceful elections in the country.

The awawa biokpokpo or whatever is the bedbug's name is just a clown. Whenever the dust settles and Amaechi discards him like the nonentity that he is, he better disappear completely from Rivers State, for his own personal safety and wellbeing.

I hope he is smart enough to have collected enough money so far from Amaechi. He would need it to resettle himself and his family elsewhere.

Wow.

A once most peaceful area - Rivers/Bayelsa - to live in have been turned to become a war zone because of crude oil found in their door steps.

Decry those elders?? who journeyed to northern Nigeria in 1967 and begged former military gov of northern region to beg the then military leader, Gowon, to carve non-Igbo speaking areas of old Eastern region out from Biafra, an act which helped a lot to pull down Biafra.
