As of the time of filing this report, the large number of protesters had caused slow movement of vehicles on the road, as security officers struggle to control the crowd.
This is as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it was yet to release the 2023 Voter Register to the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, Johnson Alalibo, who spoke at a press briefing in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, said RSIEC had applied for the Register, but it was yet to be released to them because of administrative reasons.
Alalibo further confirmed that the Commission received the court judgement from Abuja barring the Commission from releasing the register.
The local government election is scheduled for October 5, 2024.
