There is tension in Rivers State following the insistence of Governor Siminalayi Fubara to hold the scheduled local government elections scheduled tomorrow, Saturday.
The governor said the already scheduled local government election, barely hours away, cannot be stopped or truncated because a particular person does not want it conducted. He expressed regret that rather, the Police have become hired agents sent to attack the headquarters of Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, and tried but in vain to cart away sensitive materials.Fubara said: “In the early hours of this morning , I got a security report that the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, office has been invaded by the Nigerian Police.
Otherwise, Governor Fubara wondered, why would the Police attempt to take over control of RSIEC or be used to stop an ongoing democratic process, which will lead to the emergence of elected political leadership at the local government councils.
