Rivers rerun: PDP wants all results declared

Leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare all the results of the rerun elections in Rivers State.
National chairman of the party, Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, who addressed journalists at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, yesterday, also asked President Muhammadu Buhari to constitute a panel that will investigate the violence that resulted in the killing of Nigerians during the last Saturday’s national and state assembly rerun elections in Rivers State.
Sheriff also flayed some security agents who were said to have taken part in the electoral process, instead of maintaining law and order.
“The PDP is also appalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), after results had been collated and declared on the ground in many wards and constituencies, yielded to the pressure and instruction of a highly placed politician in Rivers State to suspend the much-awaited declaration of final results and return of the winners, who are already well known to the electorate,” he said.
