Opposition parties call for transfer of Rivers REC
A coalition of political parties cooperating against the Peoples Democratic Party and Governor Nyesom Wike in Rivers State have called for the transfer of the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Obo Effanga.This, according to a statement on Sunday evening, followed the suspension of the electoral process in the state by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Mr Wike, whom the coalition accused of directing disruption of collation exercise in his area, however, insists the military was biased.We, the Coalition of Governorship Candidates and Party Chairmen in Rivers State wish to commend the good people of Rivers State for coming out en masse to cast their vote for their preferred candidate.
It is on record that the State Governor had earlier in his speech commended INEC for her free, fair and credible conduct of the election in the State. We, therefore, express shock at his call for cancellation of the exercise, as his shameful act of thuggery greets his imminent defeat. On the premise of this ugly and shameful acts, the collation of results has been suspended by INEC.
In spite of the above, the REC paid deaf hears to the unethical and undemocratic activities of the Guber candidate of PDP who hijacked all electoral materials of Obio/Akpor LGA at the collation centre.
