He stated that the local government areas that collation were still outstanding are, Khana, Asari-Toru, Degema, Ahoada West, Abua/Odual and Gokana.
The integrity of INEC had been a subject of contention. A faction of the All Progressives Congress loyal to Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, and its adopted governorship candidate of the African Action Congress , Biopkomabo Awara, have been screaming that the commission had been compromised by the Peoples Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Governor Nyesom Wike.
Their statement read in part, “In the event of the last question, the PDP supporters and the National Commissioner supervising Bayelsa, Edo and Rivers States, Mrs. Agbamuche-Mbu, reacted violently and in the attempt to halt further questions created so much uproar and disruption. Hence, members of the Coalition of Governorship Candidates and Party Chairmen walked out and addressed the press who rushed out in their numbers within the Omni Event Centre premises.
But a faction of the APC in the state has stated that the party was not participating in any way in the elections in the state pending the determination of its matter before the Supreme Court. He declared, “Following this development, the APC in Rivers State cannot and should not be seen to be legitimately participating in any action either in favour of or against the processes of the said elections.
“We do not want the army around in our elections. They have killed so many of our people and they may kill more if they are still around. We want our people to live in peace and security. The army cannot come and be killing our people just because they want to disrupt elections to favour one individual.
