Rivers LG polls: There was no election; results written, announced – CCLCA says
An observer group, Centre for Credible Leadership and Citizens Awareness (CCLCA), has said no local government election took place in Rivers State as the results were already written and RSIEC simply announced winners.
This disclosure was made by the Director General of CCLCA, Dr Gabriel Nwambu while appearing on AIT live program.
Nwambu said: “Actually there was no election in Rivers State, what happened was that the results had already been written and an announcement of winners.
He described the the whole exercise as a mockery of democracy as the landmark verdict of the Supreme Court on July 11th was properly rubbished and the governors are grossly abusing all known methods of conducting elections worldwide.
Spark News Daily reports that the Action People’s Party (APP) had won 22 chairmanship positions out of 23 in the just-concluded local government election in Rivers State.
The Chief Electoral Officer of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) Adolphus Enebeli declared the results on Saturday in Port Harcourt.
