Senator Ben Bruce-Murray

Senator Ben Murray-Bruce representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District has described the ongoing governorship election as an ‘execution’.

Murray-Bruce who was reacting to the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) this evening said it was safe for him to conclude that the election was not an execution.

In a tweet he wrote: “I am in Bayelsa and with what I’m seeing I can conclusively say this is not an election. This is an execution!” the Peoples Democratic Party lawmaker said.

I am in Bayelsa and with what I’m seeing I can conclusively say this is not an election. This is an execution!
