Rivers re-run election: Abe hails Senate over ultimatum on INEC

Senator Magnus Abe, the All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate for the Rivers South-East Senatorial District has hailed the National Assembly for directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conclude all re-run elections in the country by December 10.

Abe, in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr Parry Benson, said the directive was necessary because the legislative duration had been cut short due to the delay.

Abe said that the postponement of the elections was no fair to the people of Rivers.

He urged the state government to provide a conducive environment for the election.

Abe assured that he was prepared to cooperate with INEC and other stakeholders to have a peaceful, free and fair election.
