Reports by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have it that President Muhammadu Buhari may have called an emergency meeting in Abuja over the bloody legislative rerun election in Rivers state.
The party had earlier in the day alleged that the president was already planning to declare a state of emergency in the state following the violence which has marred the election so far.
And in a series of tweets by the party’s official Twitter handle on Sunday evening, President Buhari has assembled some leaders of the National Assembly as well as many other lawmakers on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The meeting may yet be to declare a state of emergency in the state following the killings and unending violence in the south-southern state.
