Protest erupts in Rivers PDP secretariat over LG poll

Protests have began at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday, as tensions rose ahead of the Local Government election scheduled for October 5, 2024.

The protesters arrived in large numbers at the party’s secretariat forcing security operatives to step in to control the crowd and manage traffic congestion in the area.

The unrest follows growing concerns over the delay in the release of the 2023 Voters’ Register by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).
