The source stated, "Mr. President is angry over the overwhelming
criticism and condemnation of the process by international observers,
who did not mince words in describing the poll as a rape of democracy.
“Some of the observers are already seeing the APC-led Federal Government
as lacking the capacity to conduct a free, fair and credible election
in a state as small as Bayelsa. What happened in Southern Ijaw was
against every acceptable global democratic norm and practice.”
