On Monday elder-state men
of the Rivers State party of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said
Saturday's re-run elections in the State were not credible and should therefore
be cancelled.
Davies Ikanya, Chairman of
the party in the state, made the call at a news conference in Port Harcourt.
Mr Ikanya said the outcome of the elections were
not acceptable because the process was not free, fair and credible.
"The position of
Rivers APC is that the entire re-run elections in the state were marred by
irregularities, violence and unlawful interference by the State Government.
"Inadequate security
compromised the process, especially with indiscriminate, irregular and
untrained ad-hoc staff", he said.
Mr. Ikanya said the conduct
of the elections fell far below acceptable standard, as it was worse than the
2015 governorship election.
He said no credible result
would come out of the elections.
"The APC, therefore,
calls on INEC to cancel the entire re-run elections in the state to enable it
to correct the pitfalls", he said
