APC, Security Agents Plan To Postpone Rivers Election – Wike by januzaj(m): 9:01pm On Apr 08, 2015
Peoples Democratic Party governorship
candidate in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on
Wednesday in Port Harcourt, said he had
information that the All Progressives Congress in
the state is plotting with security agencies
postpone Saturday’s election in the state.
The former Minister of State for Education, who
made the comment at a peace meeting between
him and the APC candidate, Dakuku Peterside,
organised by the Commissioner of Police in Rivers,
Hossiah Karma, said the PDP and all its supporters
would resist any such move.
Wike said, “We need assurance that the security
agencies and the APC are not planning to postpone
the governorship election. We also need assurance
that the security agencies and the APC are not
planning to do something that will lead to the
cancellation of the election that may lead to the
election being conducted again under Buhari’s
administration.
“Our Chairman, Felix Obuah, was threatened on
Tuesday night by some persons, who told him that
he could not hide. We are fully prepared for the
election. If they like, let them bring the chairman of
APC to conduct the election, we will still win,” he
said at the meeting attended by service
commanders and prominent politicians from
across both camps in the state.
Chairman of the APC in Rivers, Dr. Davies Ikanya,
said they had lost confidence in the Independent
National Electoral Commission boss in the state,
Mrs. Gecila Khan, to conduct Saturday’s
governorship poll as a result of her support for the
PDP.
Ikanya accused Khan of recruiting PDP members
as INEC ad-hoc staff, who in turn, manipulated
results in favour of the party.
he said, “The APC wants the security agencies to
take a roll call of the 26,009 ad-hoc staff which
INEC in Rivers State is using to conduct the
election, so that we can properly identify the
genuine youth corpers . We are saying that the REC
has allowed the PDP to smuggle the names of its
members into the list of ad-hoc staff.
“Mrs. Khan has repeatedly turned down our
request to verify the list of the ad-hoc staff. She
has substituted 50 per cent of the original names
with members of the PDP. At the presidential
election, we did not see result sheets. How can
there be peace when she has bluntly refused to
listen to our complaints.”
The Rivers Police commissioner called on all
parties to ensure a peaceful exercise on Saturday.
Anyone caught fomenting trouble, he warned,
would be heavily dealt with.
He warned uniformed officers, not on duty, not to
appear in their regalia on Saturday as doing so
would earn them severe punishment.
