Rivers APC Challenges INEC To Produce Election Materials

The All Progressives
Congress (APC), Rivers State, has challenged the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mrs Gesila Khan, to prove her claim that she conducted free and fair elections in the state by producing over 16 electoral documents she allegedly possesses for the last governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state.
The party also challenged Mrs Khan to preoduce the list of all adhoc staff including SPO, Returning Officers, Collation Officers form Wards to state and other INEC’s adhoc staff originally recruited for the governorship election, if actually the same staff were those used in the last governorship election in the state.
At a press briefing last Wednesday in Port Harcourt, the party chairman, Chief Davies Ibiamu Ikanya alleged that Mrs Khan was conniving with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to deny APC access to over ten documents out of 16 documents demanded to prosecute its petition at the tribunal in Abuja.
He also alleged that intelligence reports received by the APC in the state confirmed that the Assistant Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Samuel Anozike in connivance with the INEC, were engaging in falsification of INEC materials.
Chief Ikanya said the APC was convinced that the voters registers, including forms EC25A, EC25E and other sensitive elections materials were not used for the governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state. He called on the international communities and INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega to call Mrs Khan to order to avoid the wrath of the party.
APC Chairman assured Rivers people that the mandate given to the APC would be re-claimed from the PDP in less than six months.
