Rivers violence: PDP demands arrest ofAPC leaders
Lagos - The Rivers State chapter of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has called
for the arrest of the All Progressives
Congress’ gubernatorial and senate election
candidates following the alleged assault of
the ruling party’s governorship contender and
senior members.
PDP Rivers State Chairman, Felix Obuah,
blamed the attack on the governorship rally
in Bakana, Degema Local Government Area of
the State on members of the APC and called
for the arrest and interrogation of Dakuku
Peterside, and Otelema Dan Amachree,
respectively.
“They must tell the police what they know
about the ugly and shameful attack on the
PDP governorship candidate Nyesom Wike,
his Deputy, Dr Ipalibo Harry-Banigo, Sports
Minister, Dr Tammy Danagogo and members
of the PDP Campaign Council,” said Obuah.
“The interrogation and arrest of the Rivers
APC governorship candidate, Dakuku
Peterside and Otelema Dan Amachree,
factional Speaker of the Rivers State will
help the police in their investigation to get at
all the APC members involved.”
The PDP Chairman made the call in a press
statement issued by his Special Adviser,
Media, Jerry Needam, while reacting to the
alleged attack on Wike and members of his
campaign council this past Saturday.
He described the attack as “criminal”,
“barbaric” and orchestrated by the APC to
destabilize the state and derail the elections,
having come to the realisation that Rivers
people have resolved to unanimously vote for
the PDP.
Obuah urged PDP members to remain calm
assuring that no amount of attacks on
members by APC, whose officials could not
be reached for comment, would stop the PDP
from taking over power and recover the
resources allegedly stolen from the state.
