International election observers on Sunday called for the cancellation of the Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Rivers. The leader of African Centre for Leadership Strategies and Development, Mr Humphrey Bekaren, who spoke on behalf of the observers, made the call in Port Harcourt. He said the observers were shocked that INEC disregarded the widely reported violent irregularities to begin the process of declaring results in the state. “We request all lovers of democracy to join us in calling for the outright cancellation of the phony election. “Unless this is done, we would have sown the seed that could eventually grow into providing a shade of fear and death over us,” he said. According to Bekaren, what happened in Rivers was a far cry from what election should be. “What we saw did not meet international standard of electioneering, not even the ones set by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC,’’ he said. He said there were reported incidents like deliberate delays and diversion of electoral materials, attacks on electoral officers, widespread arson and voter intimidation. The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Rivers, Mrs Gesila Khan, said INEC cancelled election in centres with reported electoral malpractices. She said re-run elections took place in six local government areas in the state where electoral malpractices were reported.

Gradually by God grace, we will soon finally see PDP off to the grave yard because isn't at all a party ecouraging development. It is a party contains people with irregularity actions like professional riggers, econmic deterioration, embezzlement, seizes all fundamental right of members, imposing candidates on members without seeking their knowledges, allow women to be government dictatorship and sponsoring of thugs to disrupt peace and unity of the couuntry. I call on great Nigerians to join hands and burry the so call PDP because is a problems Development Party.
