APC protests as Fubara takes control of Rivers LG structure, claims no election held
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the recent Rivers State local government election and its results, claiming that no election took place.
According to Gistreel, the election, organized by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), has intensified the political crisis in the state.
Despite opposition from supporters of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the election proceeded on Saturday under the directive of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
RSIEC announced that the Action Peoples Party (APP) won 22 out of the 23 chairmanship positions in the October 5 poll.
However, the APC publicity secretary in Rivers State, Ikenga Chibike, in an interview with Daily Post, said that the judgment of the Federal High Court stands, describing the election as a mirage and a “cooked-up result”.
He said the party decided to boycott the election to “obey the judgement from the Federal High Court, which barred the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, the Nigeria Police, the Department of State Services, DSS, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from going ahead with the election.”
He added, “As far as APC is concerned in Rivers State, there was no election on Saturday, so if anybody is announcing anything, it is a cooked-up result.
“The law remains the law. It says that if RSIEC must conduct a proper election, it must follow the due process.
“The court had also declared that every action taken prior to this time is null and void. We are standing with that judgement so we did not participate.”
