Voter apathy mars Rivers LG election
On
PDP candidates, others disagree on poll’s transparency

This was as many irregularities further worsened the well publicised council polls in the state.
The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, had distributed sensitive and non-sensitive material for the elections on Friday to allow for earlier commencement of the process, Saturday.
But, regrettably material for the polls arrived most polling units late, while in few places material for the elections did not show up at all.
At voting time, some polling stations had few voters, who are believed to be from particular political party, while the many residents preferred to observe ‘stay-at-home’.
