Governor Nyesom Wike and Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi are from the affected LG area.
The results of Ikwerre local government area of Rivers in the state's rerun election may have been hijacked, The Cable reports.
Ikwerre
and Emouha are said to be the only local governments of the eight in
the Rivers east senatorial district where results have not been
declared.
The results of Ogu/Bolo, Okrika, Omuma, Obio Akpor, and Etche local governments have all been announced.
The
online news portal cited a security source at the INEC collation centre
in Port Harcourt, who said the delayed results were hijacked by a top
politician.
The state Governor, Nyesom Wike, and the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi are from that area.
It was reported that election did not hold
in Wike's constituency, while Amaechi could not take part in the polls
due to the missing result sheet at Ward 8, Unit 14, Ubima, where he was
supposed to cast his ballot.
The election
in Ikwerre was characterized by ballot box snatching, missing result
sheets, harassment of electoral officials and other electoral
malpractices.
Collation is said to still be ongoing in Rivers south-east, and Rivers west senatorial districts
