Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and a faction of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have gathered to protest at the PDP State Secretariat Complex in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, ahead of the local government election.<\/p>\n

According to Channels Television, there are massive presence of security officers at the PDP secretariat as protesters stormed the area in large numbers.<\/p>\n

The large number of protesters was said to have caused slow movement of vehicles on the road, as security officers struggled to control the crowd.<\/p>\n

The protesters carried placards and banners of various inscriptions, chanting songs in protest.<\/p>\n

One of the displayed banners reads: \u201cTAI people say no to lawlessness. Say no to LGA election. RSIEC must obey court judgment. SIM must obey court judgement\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is coming as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, said it was yet to release the 2023 Voter Register to the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC.<\/p>\n

According to the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Johnson Alalibo, at a press briefing in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, RSIEC had applied for the Register, but it was yet to be released to them.<\/p>\n

He also confirmed that the Commission received the court judgement from Abuja barring it from releasing the register.<\/p>\n

The local government election is scheduled for October 5, 2024.<\/p>\n
