Fresh Trouble for Wike as Labour Party Demands Cancellation of Rivers State Election, Gives Reason
The Labour Party (LP) on Sunday, February 25, asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel elections in some areas in Rivers State.
The LP raised made this call while noting “unverified and manipulated results” arises from Saturday, February 25, presidential and National Assembly.
The party’s national chairman, Julius Abure, in a statement, alleged that elections were manipulated in places like Obio/Akpor, Khana, Eleme, Obigbo and Rumukoro amongst others in Rivers.
He also alleged that political thugs invaded various polling units and collation centres, took away election materials including the results sheets and “manipulated the BVAS machines and uploaded fake results into the Central portal”.
“We took particular note of incidences in places like Obio/Akpor, Khana, Eleme, Obigbo, Rumukoro and several other areas where Labour Party was clearly leading in virtually all the polling units with very wide margins,” he stated.
Abure alleged that at the polling units in Governor Nyesom Wike’s compound in Worji, the LP scored 323 votes against All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which polled 5 and 2 votes respectively.
The LP chairman, however, claimed that security agents were used to snatch ballot papers.
