Ex-Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State and Delta South Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for the cancellation of the district’s senatorial polls held on Saturday, February 23, 2019.

His lawyer, E. Otaru has sent a petition to the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Delta State with videos of some persons being intimidated with woods by thugs allegedly at polling units 5, 6, 7, 8 in Ogbe Ijoh Ward One, Warri South West LGA, parts of Bomadi, four wards in Warri South-West and part of Warri North.

He added that; “Voting slips were hijacked and in some cases, destroyed, especially in polling units where it is perceived that the APC, head the upper level.”

“It is pertinent to point out that these malpractices were made possible by the collaboration of INEC officials with these thugs identified as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, supporters. The areas where these malpractices were more brazen and massive include Burutu, Warri North, Warri South, Bomadi, Patani, Warri South-West, Isoko North and Isoko South Local Government Areas.”

“It is obvious that the outcome and/or the results from the above listed local government areas, if nothing is done about them will reflect not reflect the will of people and their wish to freely elect the candidate of their choice. Based on the foregoing, we have our client’s instructions to call on you sir and appeal that the election in the aforementioned local government areas be cancelled.”
