JUST IN: APC Asks INEC To Cancel Elections, Gives Reason

APC

Ward collation officers of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State’s Obio/Akpor Local Government Area have called for the cancellation of the recently concluded House of Representatives election.

In a press conference in Port Harcourt, APC Ward 2 Collation Officer Hanachor Francis-Eleto and Ward 10 Collation Officer Stanley Worgu claimed that they were denied access to the collation center.

According to the two collation officers, officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, aided members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in manipulating the process.

Francis-Eleto and Worgu, speaking on behalf of other ward collation officers, also claimed that presiding officers were not seen near polling stations.

They claimed that members of the PDP, working with security agencies, blocked the secretariat’s entrance before chasing them away.

They described last Saturday’s election as a disaster and undemocratic, claiming that INEC failed to keep their promise that election results would be uploaded and transmitted at polling stations.

“The PDP stalwarts did not allow us to man our polling units. It started all the way from our polling units. [With] the amount of violence that they came with, they came to hijack both the BVAS and the ballot boxes.

“What shocked me is that in most of these places, they even came with security personnel. INEC security supported them to move these things,” Worgu alleged.
