Chairman and Chief Electorial Officer of the Rivers State Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Justice Adolphus Enebeli (Rtd), has dismissed speculations that the 2024 Local Government Election Time-Table and the 5th October, 2024 date fixed for the election has been postponed.
Justice Enebeli said the time-table is still on course and the election will hold as slated.
He made the clarification following the a purported information circulating on social media that the date has been changed and the election postponed.
In a statement personally signed by him, Justice Enebeli said: "The attention of the Rivers State Independent Electoral
Commission has been drawn to a spurious article making the round, in the social media space purporting the Chairman of RSIEC as saying that Rivers State Local Government Election scheduled for October 5, 2024, will be postponed until the court order is lifted.
"This is to certify that the Chairman of RSIEC, Hon. Justice Adolphus Enebeli, DSSRS, (Rtd) never issued/uttered any such statement at any time.
"The general public is therefore hereby advised to dismiss and discountenance the article in its entirety as same is false, baseless and unfounded.
"And for the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that the Rivers State 2024 Local Government Election Time-Table is still on
course and the 5 October, 2024 election day is sacrosanct," he added.
