European Union, EU observers in their preliminary report in Abuja on Monday, said soldiers stopped them from monitoring Rivers election on Saturday. Head of the European Union observers group Maria Arena, who is also a member of the EU Parliament,  faulted  the elections as she stated that soldiers stopped them monitoring Rivers elections, even when they came to Nigeria on the invitation of INEC to monitor and make recommendations.

“Observers, including EU observers, were denied access to collation centres in Rivers, apparently by military personnel. This lack of access for observers compromises transparency and trust in the process.“In Rivers, INEC suspended until further notice the elections due to violence in polling units and collation centres, staff being taken hostage and election materials, including results sheets, seized or destroyed by unauthorised persons.“There is no doubt that the electoral process there was severely compromised" she said. 


Arena further disclosed that the European Union deployed 73 observers following voting, counting and the collation of results in 22 states. She also lamented the violence, underage voting and vote-buying that marred the governorship and House of Assembly elections as they monitored 223 polling units in 81 collation centres.

“Although election operations improved, the elections were also marked by an overall low turnout and violence, including against election officials and voters.“However, at eight polling units observed, we saw indications of vote-buying. Eight cases of obvious underage voting were also observed. Our observers saw that the counting of ballots transparent overall.“Positively, in almost all cases, party agents received copies of the result forms, although they were often not displayed. The environment for these elections has been difficult, with cases of violence and intimidation, including attacks on election administration officials" she said.

Oga no disrespect but my problem with you is unnecessary deviation, you will leave a topic presented and you will be saying another ...very unheardoff and characteristics of you.


Back to topic, if the above is true, then our image in the eyes of int'l community has been totally barstardised, and we are gradually moving backwards to the stone age. What a shame!

God bless Nigeria.

Rivers state and election wahala

Honestly, the wahala down there is just too much.....

APC is a party that breeds thugs to stay relevant using force.

It's a pity the Nigerian military has joined its bandwagon and now a rogue institution. Waiting for its PRO to tell us again those are not military personnel despite confirmation from international election observers.

Too bad Rivers in the hands of Wike embrace violence

what do you expect from a man that truncated democracy in 1983, amaechi is hell bent on unseating wike with federal might, amaechi wants to use an unknown party since his party isnt represented on the polls.
