The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that it will continue with collation
of results in Rivers State
INEC’s Director of Voter
Education and Publicity, Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi said this on Channels TV on
Sunday night
Osaze-Uzzi explained that the
commission will conclude the collation exercise in Rivers because it was not
declared inconclusive.
Recall that collation of Rivers
results was suspended by INEC due to alleged electoral malpractices and
violence.
The INEC spokesman further added
that the Collation Officer for Bauchi was replaced because of the threats to
her life and that of her family.
“In case of Rivers, the
commission will conclude the collation exercise there because it was not
declared inconclusive.
“Initially, we had penciled
Bauchi down as one of the states for which there will be supplementary
election, but as I speak now, quite honestly, we are not sure of that.
“The commission will on Tuesday
appoint a new collation officer who will go back and conclude the collation for
areas affected in the state
“Also if it is found out that
there are no sufficient votes and there is need for a supplementary election,
then one (an election) will be conducted.”
