International observers call for cancellation of Rivers’ Governorship & Assembly results

International election observers today called for the cancellation of the Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Rivers, according to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria.

The leader of African Centre for Leadership Strategies and Development, Humphrey Bekaren, who spoke on behalf of the observers, made the call in Port Harcourt. He said the observers were shocked that INEC disregarded the widely reported violent irregularities to begin the process of declaring results in the state.
