Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclised that members of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), will not take part in Sarurday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections if INEC officials fail to show them election result sheets at polling centres.

Accusing the First Lady, Patience Jonathan of planning to use some militants to rig the election in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
the governor said: “We will not vote if we don’t see result sheets.

“Ask the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, officials for the result sheets. If they fail to produce them, then form a human ring around the INEC officials and together with the security men escort the ad-hoc staff to the local government headquarters and lodge your complaints.

“But make sure nobody votes in any unit where the original result sheets are not produced. We will not accept photocopies.

“We will do what we did in our village; we call it the Obima formula. Our youths usually lock down the village. No one comes in and no one goes out. I am pleading that INEC should not endanger the lives of its staff by holding on to the original result sheets.

“Don’t allow any INEC official to leave your unit or your village if he or she fails to do the right thing. This time nobody will write fake results and go scot free. Don’t allow voting to commence until you see the result sheets. And also ensure that the results of your units are announced and pasted by the INEC officials before they leave,” he said.
