INEC shifts polls in Rivers LGs to Sunday
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has shifted governorship and state assembly elections in Asari-Toru Local Government Areas and parts of neighboring Degema Local Government, where it failed to conduct the polls due to lapses, of Rivers State to tomorrow, Sunday, March 19.
Vanguard gathered there was commotion at the Registration Area Center (RAC) in Buguma, headquarters of Asari-Toru LGA, when voters couldn’t find the INEC Electoral Officers (EOs) and result sheets for the area.
It took the intervention of security agents on ground to calm the agitated voters who insisted on identifying the INEC EOs and result sheets before materials could leave the RAC to the various wards and polling units.
Under the tense situation, INEC ad hoc staff had to shut operations and return to base with the electoral materials.
Stating the commission’s position on the development, Dr. Johnson Sinikiem, Resident Electoral Commissioner, INEC, Rivers State, confirmed elections could not hold in Asari-toru and Ward 14 of Degema LGA.
“Elections could not hold in the mentioned places as a result of the voters resisting deployment of election officials and materials.
“Voters and other stakeholders demanded to see the ward collation officers before they would allow election to commence.
“At Ward 14 of Degema LGA, voters equally demanded that the SPO must come to the RAC with collation sheet which is the responsibility of collation officers, thereby not allowing election to hold.
“Standing on this premise and relying on Section 24 of the Electoral Act 2022, the INEC has decided to conduct the election of Asari-Toru local Government Area and Ward 14 of Degema Local Government Area on the 19 of March, 2023,” the REC stated.

“While the results collation was going on peacefully, unscrupulous elements came inside the office with tear-gas and gun. Gunshots drove everyone away.

“Some of us managed to escape for our dear lives.
“Please, the EO, Mrs. Achibie, is said to have been taken to an unknown destination.
“I have informed the security agencies and efforts are on top gear to secure her release, and her team.”
