Based on INEC’s record, Southern Ijaw has about 70, 000 permanent voter card holders while the accredited voters of the 101 cancelled polling units is slightly above 30, 000.

With the cancellation,the electoral body declared the governorship election in the state inconclusive and rescheduled the poll.

The riverine southern Ijaw LGA might be turned into the major battleground giving the violence that had characterised the Decemeber 5th poll by militants from both camps.

The Nigerian police are bracing up to the task with the deployment of 5000 police men led by a deputy inspector general of police to Southern Ijaw for Saturday’s rerun.
