Saturday elections conducted in Rivers state may be cancelled as Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi is calling on INEC to conduct fresh elections in the state saying that after all that he witnessed on Saturday, there was no election at all in the state.
Speaking to Channels Television’s election coverage programme, Nigeria 2015, in the early hours of Sunday, Amaechi said, ''I realised that in all polling units in my ward, all the result sheets had been hijacked and I sought to know why (and) the presiding officers reported that the EOs, that is the Electoral Officers had taken all the result sheets from them.
“Then I began to receive calls from all over the state that they took all the result sheets. I then called the Electoral Commissioner in charge of Rivers State who hails from Bayelsa and shared the same office with the President when the President was working with OMPADEC.
“All she was saying was that as far as she was concerned there were result sheets and I said look ‘There are reports all over the state can you please verify that?’ She refused to say anything further and switched off her phone,” he said.
