APC Blames Postponement Of Rivers Rerun Elections On PDP Violent Antics by suasmablow(m): 3:10pm On Jul 26, 2016
The Rivers State chapter of All Progressives
Congress, APC, received the news of the
postponement of the July 30 rerun election in
Rivers State with mixed feelings.
In a statement signed by APC Rivers, Publicity
secretary, Chris Finebone, the party said it is
huge disappointment considering that it will
further deny the people parliamentary
representations at both the national and state
levels while the pressure on our candidates to
sustain their campaigns continues apace.
he furthers, "However, considering the
reasons adduced by the Independent
National Electoral Commission [INEC] for the
postponement, the APC believes that had
members of the Peoples Democratic Party
[PDP] led by Gov. Nyesom Wike abandoned
their official policy of resorting to violence as
a tool for seeking political power, the
postponement of the rerun elections would
have been unnecessary. Indeed, we blame
the postponement on the sustained violence
and killings orchestrated by the Peoples
Democratic Party [PDP] in Rivers State.
The latest of the string of violence the PDP
has been perpetrating in the State is the
burning down of INEC office in Bori last Friday
morning after Gov. Nyesom Wike’s hate
speech against INEC and APC leaders a few
hours earlier at Okehi.
Just before the March 19 rerun elections, Gov
Nyesom Wike employed the use of hate
speech as his battle cry, calling on his
followers to stop Senator Magnus Abe. Days
later, the Senator’s campaign office in Bori
was bombed and burnt down. Last Thursday,
Gov. Nyesom Wike was at his game once
again.
Speaking at his party’s Rivers East PDP
campaign rally at Okehi, Etche LGA, Gov. Wike
let out his usual battle cry and less than 24
hours later, those believed to be his foot
soldiers bombed and burnt down the INEC
office in Bori, the South-East senatorial zonal
headquarters of Senator Magnus Abe. A
critical look at the modus operandi of the two
bombings reveal close similarities and
imprints, suggesting that those responsible
for the first bombing most likely undertook
the latest arson on the INEC office.
The APC finds it curious that as soon as the
INEC facility was bombed in Bori, the most
virulent critic of INEC, Gov. Nyesom Wike,
turned around to offer the electoral umpire a
Greek gift to the effect that INEC could
relocate to the Khana Council. It does not call
for any strenuous reasoning to conclude that
PDP members know more than they are
telling the world about the bombing of the
INEC office in Bori in order to force the
electoral umpire to relocate to a PDP facility.
Why did Gov. Wike not provide the INEC office
same security that he says the Council
enjoys?
The APC calls on the Inspector-General of
Police, Director-General of the Department of
State Services [DSS], the Commissioner of
Police, Rivers State Police Command and
other security agencies to diligently
investigate, fish out and prosecute all those
who may have a hand in the spate of killings,
arson and violence in Rivers State.
"Wholesome peace must be restored in
Rivers State so that violence does not
continue to be a reason to deny the people
representation in the political milieu."
