In a release, he said: “Our attention have been drawn to a petition about the list of LGA collation officers for the governorship election in Rivers State wherein four of the listed persons were alleged to have partisan inclination.
“We took every reasonable step to ensure that the proposed collation officers were without any partisanship, even as we requested each person to disclose any such interest which may not be known to us.Inconclusive state polls: PDP, APC war over S-South states, Sokoto, Adamawa “I eventually got a copy of that petition and read through it. The first thing we did was to avoid any doubt and removed those persons from the list and replaced them with others. After that I informed the chairman of the commission about the development.
“One of the evidence brought was a photograph showing a man standing by another man, the other man had a cap of a political party and the person standing by him was possibly his brother. In other word he is suspected to be the brother to a politician. “We got list from the headquarters, we also had training for those people and teachers in the university also joined the training because we needed a large number of people to select from.
