BREAKING: (Bayelsa poll) Massive protest rocks Bayelsa INEC Office over alleged plot to rig guber election

There is a big continuous protest at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Bayelsa office over alleged fabricated election results from Nembe Bassambiri.

senior Bayelsa-based civil society operatives, women’s groups, youth groups, state and National Assembly members, and other concerned people converged at the INEC office to protest the purported plot by INEC’s senior leadership to skew the votes in Saturday’s election.

As early as 9 a.m., irate protestors blocked the bustling Swali Road location of INEC, urging the commission not to accept the results of Nembe Bassambiri, which they claimed were fabricated.

During the demonstration, Bayelsa State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Dambo Biriyai, (SAN), told journalists that no election was held in Nembe Bassambiri.

He urged the state’s INEC REC, Mr Obo Effanga, and South South Commissioner for INEC, May Agbamuche-Mbu, to do the right thing and reject the alleged forged results.

He emphasized that PDP members who visited their country house of Bassambiri were denied access by a joint SWAT police and APC thugs team.

He went on to say that the APC merely wrote absurd outcomes that were not the result of any voting.

“If what we are here for is allowed to go on, it would be a massive rape on democracy. We are here because we were disenfranchised in Nembe Bassambiri. And no voting took place there.

“Precisely on the 10th of Nov, in order to vote for our candidate, about 60 buses left Yenagoa, to Nembe Bassambiri with escort. When we got there, the SWAT team was blocking the entrance with other APC youths.

“They said we should come down. When one our boys, Barr. Dilli, came down, they manhandled him and he escaped by the whiskers. Thereafter, They started blocking them up to the extent that they threw tear gas at us. They said we cannot come in. So most of us were scared so they had to leave. There were no votes. No election, in Nembe Bassambiri constituency 2 and 3.

“And we now found out that results starts coming it on social media. Results that were uploaded in the BVAS. And you see that these results are the kind of results that are so outrageous.

“We don’t know where they are coming from. So we are here to appeal to INEC. We are not coming to discourage INEC. We just want them to follow the rule of law, ensure that they do what is right in line with Mr President’s resolve that there should be free and fair elections in this country.

“They manipulated everything. INEC should cancel Nembe Bassambiri results because there were no elections there.”
