No Court Judgment Stopping Rivers LG poll – RSIEC
The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) confirmed that no court judgment is preventing the local government elections scheduled for October 5, 2024.
Justice Adolphus Enebeli, the commission’s chairman, dismissed claims made by Tony Okocha, former APC caretaker chairman, who suggested that the elections were subject to litigation.
Enebeli reaffirmed that of the 19 political parties in the state, 18 would be participating, and cited a Supreme Court ruling that mandates the conduct of local government elections in all states.
