• Refused to be accredited
The Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, was earlier today stopped from moving around different polling units in the state by the military.
Amaechi, who drove himself in a black 4WD, was stopped by the Brigade Commander of the second Brigade, Bori Camp, Essien Essien, who engaged the governor in a debate over his mission to ascertain the availability of result sheets at the polling units.
Against the advice of the Brigade Commander to remain at his polling centre, the governor challenged the Army Officer to arrest him as he drove back to the government house Port Harcourt after refusing to be accredited, insisting he would not vote unless he saw the result sheets.
Amaechi, refused to be accredited because of the failure of the electoral officers to produce result sheets
However, the Rivers PDP publicity secretary, Mr Samuel Nwanosike, debunked the claim by the governor that there was no accreditation in the local government area, saying several people in his own Ward 9, Omagwa, had been accredited
