Labour Party demands cancellation of election results in Rivers state

The Labour Party (LP) has called for the cancellation of election results from Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections conducted in Rivers State.

Labour Party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, said elections were manipulated in places like Obio/Akpor, Khana, Eleme, Obigbo and Rumukoro amongst others in Rivers. Abure also alleged that political thugs invaded various polling units and collation centres, took away election materials including the results sheets and “manipulated the BVAS machines and uploaded fake results into the Central portal”. The Labour Party Chairman who also claimed that they recorded 323 votes at the polling units in Governor Nyesom Wike’s compound in Worji, against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which polled 5 and 2 votes respectively, also alleged that security agents were used to snatch ballot papers. The statement read; “We took particular note of incidences in places like Obio/Akpor, Khana, Eleme, Obigbo, Rumukoro and several other areas where Labour Party was clearly leading in virtually all the polling units with very wide margins. “Nigerians went into this election based on the assurances by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC that the deployment of BVAS was a perfect antidote to electoral malpractices in Nigeria, but what transpired across Nigeria, if allowed to stand is purely a betrayal of trust by millions of Nigerians on INEC. “Some of these manipulations happened way into late in the night. We demand that INEC investigate these atrocities against Nigerian voters by the political class. “We are therefore asking that INEC should rise to the occasion and cancel all the unverified and manipulated results arising from the presidential and national assembly elections in parts of Rivers state particularly in places like Obio/Akpor, Khana, Eleme, Obigbo and Rumukoro amongst others.”

Nollywood legend, Kate Henshaw has taken a swipe at the People’s Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over his comment about the Labour Party being popular among Nigerian youths ahead of the 2023 general election.

During a recent interview with BBC, Atiku said that Labour Party can’t expect to get to the top because they are just starting and do not have structure, any local government chairman or governor to deliver votes. When told that the party is popular among youths, Atiku responded by saying “let the youths vote for them”. Kate Henshaw who reacted to Atiku Abubakar’s comment stated that “arrogance is not a good quality of leadership”.
