The Peoples Democratic Party yesterday alleged that the minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation , Abubakar Malami SAN, is being drafted into plots to scuttle the collation of the results of Rivers State governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission .
Recall that INEC has fixed April 2 and 5 to conclude the collation of the Rivers State governorship election, which was suspended due to violence. “Our party urges the AGF to note that there is no provision of the 1999 Constitution or any part of the Electoral Act 2010 that, in anyway, empowers the AGF to interfere or stop the process of election, until declaration of result is made.
“The constitution and laws of our nation are clear on the powers and statutory functions of the Attorney General and that he has no powers to interfere in the conduct of elections or direct the stoppage of an electoral process.
