The Independent National Electoral Commission has rescheduled the re-run elections for Rivers State which was earlier slated for February 6 to March 19.
Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, INEC Secretary in a statement said the decision to reschedule the re-run was made after a meeting with various stakeholders in the Electoral process.
Pending the election, Governor Nyesom Wike has warned against rigging of the rerun elections, he said; “Anyone who plans to rig an election is an armed robber and should be treated as such. If you are coming to rig an election in the state, first prepare your Will before embarking on the journey. Inform your wife or husband and go ahead to say your last prayer.
“When they used the security forces in Bayelsa State, it didn’t work. It will also not work here in Rivers State. Rivers State is a peaceful state and our people are peace loving. We want to remain so,”
