Rivers Re-run: Observers Task Politicians On Credible Polls

A group called Neighbourhood Watch in Port Harcourt the Rivers State capital has called on politicians and their supporters to uphold peace and unity during and after today’s Legislative re-run election. According to the Leader of the group, Charles Inko-Tariah, while condemning the recent violence in the State, People are important than the ambition of politicians. Hours to the rerun elections, tension has been at high degrees and security has been heightened as only just on Thursday, the Nigerian Army lost two of its men in a shootout with hoodlums in Abonemma area of the state. However, all appears set for the exercise as all sensitive materials for the polls have been delivered at the state headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Port Harcourt. Sorting and distribution have been done at the different senatorial zones and constituencies in all 23 local government areas in the state. The INEC has recruited the services of 24,930 adhoc staff, 379 collation officers and 37 returning officers for the elections. Thanks for reading.
