President of Ijaw Youths Council, Mr Udengs
Eradiri on Monday said the decision to cancel the
rescheduled governorship election in Southern Ijaw Local
Government of Bayelsa may have averted crises.
He said in Yenagoa that the tension generated by the
rescheduled poll could have turned to an ugly situation.
“We expect honourable conduct of a new election on a
date to be fixed.

We are also happy that the Independent National
Electoral Commission lived up to expectation and should
continue to be an unbiased umpire’’, he said.
Eradiri commended international and local observers for
insisting that the right thing should be done to ensure
free and fair election.
Rep. Fred Agbedi, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
agent at the collation centre in Yenagoa, said the
cancellation was in order.
He said the election in the area was marred by violence,
intimidation and snatching of election materials.
Agbedi (PDP-Ekeremor/Southern Ijaw Federal
Constituency 1), said election should not be conducted in
an insecure atmosphere, where voters could not exercise
their civic rights.
The All Progressives Congress (APC), rejected the
cancellation of election in Southern Ijaw Local
Government.
Mr Denis Otiotio, the party`s agent at the collation centre,
said it objected to the cancellation because they were on
course for victory.
He said “the cancellation of the election in Southern Ijaw
is an attempt to manipulate the result in favour of a
particular party’’, he said.

Yet we are made to believe that APC controls inec.

if the federal government did not use it's might to rig the 6 local governments Dickson won. why will it suddenly want to rig just a single local government. elections will be held on a future date. a winner will emerge and results will be declared and nothing will happen. just curious if only app perpetrated violence, who attacked sen. lokpobiri's home with guns on Saturday?

if soldiers sent to maintain peace gun down a political thug during exchange of gunfire.the political parties will cry they are killing our members and agents.

the saddest part is after these deaths, acrimony between supporters, Sylva may still decamp to the pdp or Dickson may decamp to the apc in the future.

but the youths of this country will never learn.

Lol, na their cup of tea be that.

Why are they saying no, must they rig and win Bayelsa as they rigged and win the 2015 general elections as well as hijacked November Kogi governorship Elections?

Nigerians won't continue to pamper you guys having seen that you have the intention to destroy this country.

destroy this country.

Apc shouln't be a cancer to the society.

Members of Bayelsa PDP who were on ground applauded the INEC for cancellation of part of the election. Yet, a Fayose of EKITI who is a PDP member and thousands of kilometers away is displaying a thuggery tantrum over inconclusiveness of the same election.

I don't care about Fayose-the ponmo and fish cutter, I only pity the people of EKITI who gave monkey banana.

"On course for victory"
