Bayelsa gov’ship: We won’t accept BVAS without codes — LP candidate

The Labour Party candidate for November 11 governorship election in Bayelsa State, Engr Udengs Eradiri, said the party will not accept any Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) without codes.

Speaking with newsmen at his campaign office in Yenagoa, the state capital, yesterday, Eradiri alleged that some politicians were already planning to clone the machine in their favour.

He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to redeem its image and conduct free and fair elections in Bayelsa State that will be accepted by all.

He said: “They have already started gathering money to give to security and INEC; that is the level our electoral process has gone to.

“I have been moving around talking to people because I want to have that social connection. That is the only way you will not forget the people when you get to the office.

“Bayelsa State as we speak is going through a lot, and all of our problems stem from leadership failure. We don’t have competent leadership in Bayelsa State. Compare Bayelsa to other states in the country; you will discover that we are backward in all indices.”
