The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly
condemned the
violence perpetrated against its members in
Gombe and Rivers State during Saturday’s
elections, saying violence has no place in any
democracy.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party in particular condemned the collusion
between INEC and the PDP, aided by the security in
Rivers, saying what transpired in the state is
nothing but a travesty of elections.
”INEC practically handed over the elections to the
PDP in Rivers, depriving APC strongholds of men
and material. In Okrika, materials arrived and were
taken to the home of the State Secretary for PDP
Ibibia Walter, while all units in Ahoada East and
Omuma LGAs do not have result sheets. To
worsen matters, PDP thugs unleashed mayhem on
APC voters, killing one member in Tai Local
Government and harassing a serving
Commissioner.
”Simply put, there was an orchestrated, massive
disenfranchisement in APC strongholds,” it said.
APC also condemned the killing of eight of the
party’s members, one of them a serving member
of the House of Assembly, in Gombe State on
Saturday, saying it was aimed at intimidating its
members and preventing them from coming out to
vote.
The party also said there is a plan to rob former
Governor Danjuma Gombe of victory in his
senatorial district, as the military commander and
the police commissioner in the state are trying to
orchestrate a crisis so they can arrest the former
Governor and putting him away.
It therefore called for an end to the violence,
harassment and
intimidation of its members in the state.
