Protest in Rivers over resumed collation - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
Protesters yesterday took to the streets in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, to decry the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to halt the electoral process without credible and verifiable reasons.
“The abuse of section 26 sub section of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, and the ignoble actions by the Rivers State REC must not go unpunished. When an agent of state collaborates to undermine the State, such agent must be treated as felon,” Jackson Omenazu stressed. “Why is it that those who ochestrated the violence were not reprimanded in the report of the INEC Fact Finding Committee?
According to him, the INEC claim suggests that 75% of the result were collated in circumstances that are not convincing.
