APC Candidates: Re-List Us, Or No Polls in Rivers

Candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the 2019 elections in Rivers State have said they'll not allow elections to hold within the state if the independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, does not relist them in the ballot for the general election.

The candidates made the revelation in Port Harcourt, yesterday, when they took thousands of their supporters on protest to INEC’s office in Port Harcourt.

However, men of the police dispersed the protesters with teargas, after the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Obo Effangha, had addressed them and left the scene with party big wigs.

Speaking, former Ambassador to Netherlands, Mr. Orji Ngofa, who is the senatorial candidate of the APC for Rivers South-East, noted that it is painful that INEC horridly delisted them (APC candidates) for the election, but was finding it difficult to relist a similar candidates following order of court.
