Despite requests for Governor Siminalayi Fubara to halt the process from PDP members, the local government election in Rivers State is going forward as planned.

The Registration and Accreditation Centers (RACs) in a few local government districts, such the Government Technical College in Ahoada East, have received both sensitive and non-sensitive election materials.

The state’s mood is reminiscent of an election day, with the roadways noticeably empty and the Nigeria Police Force not in evidence.

Speaking on Friday, Governor Fubara reiterated his resolve to see the election through to the end, even in light of the Rivers State Police Command’s decision to step down from election oversight.

The governor charged that Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector General of Police, was trying to sabotage the election in order to support “an Abuja-based politician.”

The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, or RSIEC, urged citizens to use their right to vote in compliance with the Electoral Act’s requirements and stressed that the election will go forward as scheduled.
