Rivers Rerun: PDP Accuses Army Of ‘Stealing Materials’ For APC

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate for Rivers South East, Olaka Nwogu has accused soldiers deployed to the area of collaborating with the APC to rig election in Eleme part of the district.

Speaking with newsmen minutes before now, Mr. Nwogu, said, “soldiers are just stealing materials and giving them to APC in ward 8, Eleme here.”

He said he would mobilise efforts to “control the situation”.

However, apart from the case of alleged theft of materials by soldiers, he said “the election is going on well.”

“I think there are some who are not corrupt and not interfering with process but there are bad eggs. And it is shameful that some are shaming the institution,” he said.

At unit 1 and 2, Ward 1 of Eleme LGA, the process is going on smoothly.

“It’s been okay,” the presiding officer for unit 2 said; adding “there’s not been issue of violence.”

In Rotimi Amaechi’s Ubima, Ward 8, Ikwere LGA, there’s no voting. Voters are “just hanging”, having had their rights breached by political actors. There’s theft of result sheet.
