Rivers
Mr. Andrew Miller, the lawmaker who represents the Opobo/Nkoro Constituency at the Rivers State House of Assembly has been sacked by the appeal court in Abuja.
Contesting as APC’s candidate, Miller was declared winner of the March 19, 2016 election re-run in the state by INEC.
Afterwards, the PDP and its candidate, Diri Adonye approached the election tribunal alleging that the election was fraught with irregularities. The party claimed that the votes were inflated in favor of the APC candidate. The tribunal rejected their appeal. The matter was taken the appeal court.
On Thursday the court ruled that the election was “massively rigged” with figures fraudulently altered across the 11 wards in the Opobo/Nkoro Constituency of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
It then nullified the Certificate of Return issued to Miller by INEC.
