Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, today staged a protest march to the Department of State Security (DSS) office and the Government House where they submitted a petition protesting the conduct of the local government election scheduled for Saturday October 5, 2024.
Accompanied by members of the Tony Okocha-led APC, other stakeholders who joined the march include; former LGA chairmen, members of the House of Representatives, and former chief of staff Government House loyal to the FCT minister were in attendance.
Speaking at the DSS office, a PDP stakeholder in Rivers State, Aaron Chukwuemeka said the major reason for the protest was to say no to the October 5 Local Government Elections.
This follows the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) saying it is yet to release the 2023 Voter Register to the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) due to administrative reasons.
