The heart of the leadership of International
Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) is filled
with joy and encouragement concerning the latest grounded judgment of the
Supreme Court with respect to Rivers State Governorship Election Petition. We
also congratulate Governors David Umahi of Ebonyi State and Akinkumni Ambode of
Lagos State and people of the two States as well as others over their recent
electoral victories at the Supreme Court; fundamentally anchored on the fact
that “use of card-readers cannot validly be used to invalidate the
results of an election as it is conspicuously not provided in the 2010
Electoral Act or the 1999 Constitution”.
