By Davies Iheamnachor, PORT HARCOURT
The Chairmanship Candidate of the Action Peoples Party APP, in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State for Local Government Council elections in the state, David Omereji, has said the election was successful without police operatives.
Omereji also stated that no one can rig ongoing polls, adding that the people resolved to ensure peace and sanity.
It would be recalled that police in the state said they would not take part in the election following the judgement order of the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Peter Lifu.
Omereji, who spoke after casting his vote at his unit in Ward 11, Egbeda community, Emohua LGA, said the era of election rigging in the state has gone.
He described the process as seamless, free, fair and peaceful, adding that the election was successful without police.
Omereji said: “The election was peaceful and everybody voted without fear or intimidation. This is one peaceful and well-coordinated election conducted in the state.
“RSIEC has conducted a seamless election and we commend them for that. The election was peaceful without police. The people were sensitised to ensure Peace.
“Nobody will rig this election. The result will be as people voted. They have done a good job for the state.”
