The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has ordered INEC to announce the results for Rivers state governorship election immediately.
The opposition party alleged that the reason for the delay is a manipulation scheme from the electoral body.
PDP also rejected the stance of INEC to suspend the electoral process in the state, after collation of results.
Their statement read, “Our party contends that elections have been concluded in Rivers state; results of the Governorship and House of Assembly polls have been declared at the various polling units, wards and local government collation centers and all returning officers and political parties in the ballot conclusively have the figures.
It is therefore directly incumbent on INEC to declare the final results instead of deliberately creating openings for the subversion of the final process; a development, which exposes the Commission’s complicity with the Buhari Presidency and the APC to enmesh the election into unnecessary crisis.
Our party cautions INEC to note that a lot of innocent Nigerians have already been killed by the APC in its desperation to forcefully take over Rivers state. The commission should therefore save the state from more bloodletting by immediately declaring the results.”
