President Buhari holds emergency meeting over Rivers election


Reports by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have it
that President Muhammadu Buhari may have called an
emergency meeting in Abuja over the bloody legislative
rerun election in Rivers state.
The party had earlier in the day alleged that the
president was already planning to declare a state of
emergency in the state following the violence which has
marred the election so far.
And in a series of tweets by the party’s official Twitter
handle on Sunday evening, President Buhari has
assembled some leaders of the National Assembly as
well as many other lawmakers on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
The meeting may yet be to declare a state of emergency
in the state following the killings and unending violence
in the south-southern state.
Check out the tweets below:

Police & other security agencies to pave way for the
declaration of State of Emergency.
