Rivers State residents were praised by Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for abstaining from what he called a rigged Local Government Area election on Saturday. Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has praised Rivers State residents for abstaining from what he called a rigged Local Government Area election on Saturday.
Eze stated that he is adamant that the court will rig the election.
He claimed that Ibok-Ette Ibas, the sole administrator, illegally appointed a team to oversee the election. Eze said in a statement provided to the media that the response from voters throughout the state represents a categorical denial of the political illegality.Government Area election on Saturday.
Eze said he believes strongly that the election will be thrashed by the court.
According to him, the election was managed by a team unlawfully appointed by the Sole Administrator – Ibok-Ette Ibas. In a statement made available to the media, Eze said the reaction from electorates across the state embodies an outright rejection of the political illegality.
It was shocking to discover that the result sheets for all of the state’s voting units were taken and stored in a private hotel in Port Harcourt, where the results were dispersed, Eze said, adding that there were only 23 candidates for the chairmanship of the 23 local government areas, all of whom are supporters of the FCT Minister.
“The cooked up trash being circulated as a result of the Local Government Councils election as there was no election in Rivers State but allocation of votes to Wike’s cronies,” he advised the public, should be disregarded.
It is heartbreaking to discover that the results produced by the electoral body run by this illegal team, which was led by the man from Cross-River, show that the 23 chairmanship contestants received votes in the tens of thousands in Emohua, Ikwerre, Obio-Akpor, Port Harcourt City, and other local government areas where voters avoided the charade.
Since not a single voter showed up at the polling places, video footage from certain communities in the Emohua Local Government Area shows RSIEC ad hoc staff thumb-printing all of the APC ballots. Despite this, Chidi Lloyd, a factional candidate for the APC Chairmanship, was declared the winner with more than 100,000 votes.
