The Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, Adolphus Enebeli, stated that no court order can stop the commission from holding party primaries and elections.
Retired Justice Enebeli made this statement while speaking to journalists during a training session for Master Trainers at the Justice Mary Odili Institute in Port Harcourt.
He referred to Section 60, Subsection 2 of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission Law of 2018 and clarified that there is no court order restraining the RSIEC from conducting the local government elections in the state. Additionally, he explained that section 15 of the Electoral Act, as amended, requires INEC to provide RSIEC with the voter register.
