Rivers PDP alleges conspiracy at election tribunal
alleging that the commission has refused to assign the defence of the governorship election to any of its lawyers so that the result can be cancelled.
According to the PDP, it is afraid that when no defence is entered before the stipulated time, the tribunal will cancel the election results for want of diligent defence. “We are telling the world that INEC has not assigned the defence of the result to any lawyer as we speak.” INEC had first suspended all electoral processes in Rivers due to violence. The electoral body later lifted the suspension and continued the collation of results, which was eventually concluded on April 3.
