WIKE, PDP PANICS AS APC, FORENSIC INVESTIGATORS BEGIN INSPECTION AT INEC OFFICE, PH

There is serious panic in the camp of the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and the State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the national leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) finally grants access to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and their forensic investigators to inspect materials used for the just concluded General Elections in the State.    

Enigma Reports learnt that the inspection is currently ongoing at INEC office in Port Harcourt as the APC and the forensic experts have been granted access to inspect the materials used for the elections.

It would be recalled that two months after the elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, refused to comply with the relevant section of the Electoral Act to provide parties who have applied for materials with all the materials said to have been used for the election.

In spite of several court orders, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Gesila Khan, has bluntly refused to obey the law. Khan is not alone as other officials of INEC have also joined in the act.

But the force of desperation by the APC yesterday led by Dakuku Peterside, at the headquarters of the commission, has paid off.

The pain of the humiliation and police brutality through the use of chemical weapon against the protesting candidates and members of the APC has yielded some gain.

The INEC Chairman, Amina Zakari has deployed three senior officials, Administrative Secretaries to Rivers State to oversee the inspection of the materials. Forensic experts are already at the INEC office in Port Harcourt for inspection and analysis. There really may not be any need for the motion filed by Dakuku Peterside asking the Tribunal to order INEC to move the materials to Abuja.

It is left for the APC to prove their petition that there were no elections in Rivers State. Recall that the central server of INEC has shown that the Card Reader used for accreditation only captured 292,000 accredited voters, yet the PDP was declared winner with over 1,000,000 votes during the governorship and State Assembly elections.
