This is live from headquarters of the INEC office in Abuja where about 17 political parties from Rivers State is doing a peaceful protest calling for the removal of the Resident Electoral Commissioner in charge of Rivers State, Dame Gesila Khan.
It will be recalled that Mrs Khan had on the 11th day of April, 2015 during the purported Presidential and National Assembly election in Rivers State connived with the Rivers State chapter of the PDP and its agents to rig the election. There is abundant evidence that the Rivers State REC in association with the PDP rigged the election. She gave out all the result sheets and other sensitive material to the PDP. To perfect this plan which appear to have been nursed for a long time, the Nigerian Police together with other security agencies in the state decided to arrest all strong and stakeholders of APC in the State. In this regard a strong member of the APC Hon. Emmanuel Deeyah the State agent of the party was arrested from the INEC Office Port Harcourt to pave way for this conspiracy on APC and other political parties in the state by Mrs Khan and the PDP and its agents.
Consequently and in view of the up coming Gubernatorial and state houses of Assembly election, the APC and 17 other political parties in the state mobilized its supporters from the state to INEC headquarters in Abuja.
Please stay turned to this dial as Rivers Mandate crew keep you updated on happens at the INEC headquarters Abuja.
