The Rivers state re-run election into the various arms of lawmaking in the state turned out violent and bloody as predicted by several political analysts.
Senator Ben Murray-Bruce
Bayelsa senator and Chairman of Silverbird group, Ben Murray-Bruce has shared his candid opinions on the "Do or Die" politics that is practiced in Nigeria with regards to the Rivers state election mayhem that led to the death of a number of voters, party officials and an INEC adhoc staff doing his National Youth Service Corps programme in the South-south state.
He expressed his views via social media and the highlight is that Rivers election was intense due to the desperation of political parties to recoop money spent on the 2015 general election from oil-rich states with high federal allocations.
