It was further gathered that the usually busy East-West road by Rumuosi in Obio/Akpor LGA is deserted at about 7:30 am, with only a few pedestrians on foot and a handful of vehicles, believed to be transporting election officials.
The elections are coming in six months and two days after the Supreme Court nullified the local government election conducted on October 5, 2024, by the RSIEC.
