The New
Initiative for Credible Leadership (NICL) has demanded the outright
cancellation of the re-run elections, held on Saturday in Rivers State.

NICL stated that the election falls short of all
known local and international standards of accepting elections, adding that
elections should have been called off when violence sparked off before the
elections.

validate controversial polls.

disrespect the sanctity of human lives and not ready to give democracy a chance
to thrive.
