Rivers Election: PDP Says Buhari Planning To Declare State of Emergency

The People Democratic Party, PDP, has claimed that President Buhari has summoned an emergency meeting over the tension which trailed the rerun elections in River State.

In a statement issued by PDP on its official Twitter handle, the party alleged that the meeting called by Buhari is to prepare grounds for a declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers.

Some of the tweets by PDP reads:

President Buhari in a meeting at the Aso Rock over #RiversReRun. The ground is now been prepared for the declaration of state of Emergency. 

Senate Majority Leader, Ali Ndume, Femi Gbajabiamila and 20 APC Senators & 60 Reps have just been summoned to the ongoing meeting.

Sources say the situation in some areas was so bad that INEC officials were reportedly scared of stepping out of their offices to conduct the election due to threats from persons wearing fake military uniform.
