Charles Adias, collation officer for the presidential
election in Rivers state, says some members of the Labour Party (LP) have
accused him of election rigging.
Adias, who is the vice-chancellor of the Federal University
Otuoke in Bayelsa state, spoke on Monday in Port Harcourt while addressing
Deinye Pepple, the LP agent.
Pepple, while making observations, had faulted some results
but commended the collation officer of the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA.
“All the results he presented tallies with what I have from the polling units,” Pepple said.
In his response, Adias called the attention of Pepple to the
actions of some LP members, saying he had received numerous phone calls from
persons identified as the party’s supporters who accused him of election
rigging.
“For the past two days, I have been receiving threats from
members of your party,” Adias told the LP agent.
“Even as I am seated here, for every minute, I have received
at least 10 calls from members of your party.
“My telephone number
and my face has been posted on all your platforms to the extent that I am here
to rig the elections against their party.
“I believe I should address you so that you can tell your
members that what we do here is transparency. We do not have any regard for
what has happened before here.”
Adias added that his duty as the collation officer for the
presidential election in the state was to receive results from local government
areas and collate them as presented.
“And this is for the parties. Ensure that if you have issues
about results and votes, go back to the level of the polling units and do not
come back here and transfer aggressions to members of the society that are here
offering free services to this nation,” he said.
“As academics, our
duties are to teach through research and development and we are called upon to
serve society through community service, and this little we are doing is part
of that responsibility.
“Society should accept it that way and praise us for even
standing up to serve this country.”
