INEC Postpones Elections In Anambra, Rivers, And Lagos Over Violence

The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has announced the postponement of the elections in some parts of Lagos, Rivers and Anambra States following disruption of the exercise due to violence.






Specifically, INEC said elections in Akuku Toru and Bonny local government areas of Rivers state as well as some parts of Anambra and Lagos would be conducted on a later date, saying mostly affected is the contest for the federal legislative seats.


“The commission has received reports of violence and ballot box snatching in some areas leading to the disruption of the process. We have asked the Resident Electoral Commissioners RECs and the Electoral Officials on ground to submit their firsthand reports in relation to some of these incidents. We are still receiving reports relating to incidences in some states of the federation but we have received reports relating to incidences in Akuku Toru and Bonny local government areas of Rivers state.


“So long as the commission could not deploy in these areas, the implication is that voting did not take place in those areas and the commission will hold consultations with the relevant authorities and the Resident Electoral Commissioners RECs in relation to these areas and will announce the date when polls will take place in some of these areas, especially in relation to the areas as they affect the House of Representatives and Senatorial elections.


“It is not only in Rivers that we had reports of burning of electoral materials. We have such reports from Anambra and Lagos states as well as some other places”, he added.

    1. This is why they removed Edgal Imohimi, the former Police CP Lagos !! Tinubu knew the man will NOT bend !!!! According to information, the police men in Okota, Mafoluku, Oshiodi, Amuwo Odifin and other places where Igbo's reside , received calls and they quickly left leaving Tinubu's thugs to cause problems!!! The NEW CP in Lagos is a very useless man

    2. Tinubu is trying very hard to peach the Yoruba Nation against The Igbo Nation because of greed !!!!!! We are hearing that the OPC members are planning reprisal attacks on Igbo Communities in Lagos, we hope that this is NOT true !!!! The fire that Tinubu is trying to light up I Lagos will consume Tinubu and his family !!!!!!
