Guber Elections: Rivers PDP Insists On 21 Constituency Results

The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has the complete called results of last Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections, as 21 out of 32 constituency results have been declared.
Chairman of the party, Bro. Felix Obuah in a statement over the weekend said though it wallowed the stance of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) over the elections.
He said, “the PDP accepts the aforementioned pronouncement of the INEC as substantial representation of the true state of the electoral process before the suspension.
“However, we wish to draw the INEC’s attention to the fact that in addition to the 17 local government areas with fully collated results, the elections also successfully held and results declared at the unit and ward levels in five of the six other local government areas where full collation of results is still pending”.
The PDP chairman urged INEC to follow its guidelines to fill the missing gap, if any, in the collation process for the remaining five local government areas.
He on other hand commended the electoral umpire for standing by the truth and for its courage and principled determination to ensure that the people’s votes are expressed.
In the same vein, it also lauded the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Yusuf Tukur Buratai for inaugurating the Major General T.A. Gagariga’s-led committee to probe the allegations of misconduct, including the assassination attempt on the Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike by soliders during the 2019 general elections.
The party chairman used the medium to assure the Chief Army Staff that the party will appear, present and prove before the committee with facts and evidence of the atrocities committed by solders against the electoral process and the people of Rivers State.
