#RiversRerun: Magnus Abe’s victory, a product of fabricated results – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of the rerun in Rivers South East district, Rivers State.

INEC had declared Magnus Abe winner of the rerun on Sunday after collated votes showed he defeated the PDP candidate.

But the PDP in a statement on Monday claimed election did not hold in the district.

The ruling party in the state said the election in the district was an “unprecended massive manipulation of the electoral process in active connivance with the security agencies.”

The party also asked INEC to release results of some Local Governments which are still being withheld.

The statement reads in part, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned in strong terms, the delay by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in releasing the remaining collated results of the just concluded Rivers State Re-Run Elections of Saturday, December 10, 2016.

“The only result that has been released which declared Magnus Abe of the APC Winner, is an unprecended massive manipulation of the electoral process in active connivance with the security agencies. The whole world know that elections did not take place in the Rivers South East Senatorial District. We therefore reject the declaration of Magnus Abe with the fabricated results, and demand INEC to conduct election in that Constituency. We promise to avail ourselves every opportunity to seek redress on this matter in the interest of democracy and that of the constituents who are denied their right to vote.

“The Results that are being witheld are: Rivers West and East Senatorial Districts, Andoni/Opobo-Nkoro Federal Constituency and Andoni State House of Assembly Constituency. We have the results declared at the various polling units which show that, Senator George Abiye Sekibo of the PDP won the Rivers East Senatorial District while Senator Osinakachukwu Ideozu also of the PDP won the Rivers West Senatorial District, respectively.

“Equally, we make bold to state that Hon. Abiante and Ikunyi Ibani both of the PDP won their respective elections into Andoni/Opobo-Nkoro Federal Constituency and Andoni State Constituency, respectively.

“INEC is currently witholding these results in cohort with security agencies to pave way for the APC to manipulate the outcome of the Elections. We urge INEC to immediately release the affected results intact. Anything short of this is unacceptable and the INEC, security agencies and the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi should be held responsible in whatever manner the people of Rivers State decide to react for robbing them of their votes.”
