Several days after a rerun election was conducted in some parts of Rivers State, a nongovernmental group, the Sustainable Ogoni, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to release without delay the results of the poll held in Tai local council area.

In a release in Abuja on at the weekend, the group through its head of Publicity/ Research, Mr. Jude Kole Oma, also pleaded with INEC to ensure that the remaining elections that were suspended in the state be concluded so that the Ogonis can have a voice in the state and National Assembly.

According to the group,“We sincerely want to thank INEC for listening to the people and given certificate of return to those that have been declared winners of the various LGA constituencies.

We therefore urge INEC to as a matter of urgency abide by its laws and pronouncement that any election that has been declared by the returning officer will be announced and should therefore proceed to announce Tai LGA result.

“This will not only give hope to Ogonis but build on the confidence we are having currently in the Nigerian state. We are at a very low point where we don’t have the presence of any representative in the National Assembly presently and when matters that concern us come up, there’s no one to champion it.

“While we call on INEC to announce the result of Tai, any party that feels aggrieved should feel free to seek redress in the tribunal. We also plead that the remaining elections that were suspended should be concluded so that we can have our voice in the state and National Assembly.
