Pegasus Reporters Issues on the Wing
“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”
PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | OCTOBER 6, 2024
The All-Progressive Congress, APC in Rivers State has declared that local council in the state were a sham and will not be accepted as according to it, no election was held in the state.
Pegasus Reporters had earlier reported that Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s powered APP has clear 23 of the 24 local council seats in the elections held on Saturday 5th of October 2024.
The elections were in defiance of the stance of the former governor Nyesom Wike who is currently the minister of the federal capital territory, Abuja.
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.”
