The coalition vowed to embark on mega protests in Rivers to ensure that the right results emerge.

“It is very clear that they lost woefully to the Labour Party, LP, Presidential Candidate in Rivers State and some politicians with their thugs shamelessly resorted to beating an innocent INEC staff forcing them to alter the will of the people. Such frivolous acts will not stand.
