The Rivers State
chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has observed with dismay
thejumping in and out of the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, Abuja, by Mr. Magnus Abe, the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate
for Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the forthcoming rescheduled re-run
National Assembly election in the State.
A statement from
the office of the State chairman of the PDP, Bro Felix Obuah, demanded to know
whether he (Abe) has relocated his campaign office to the INEC office, noting
that his frequent visits to the electoral house is not only disturbing but also
very suspicious.
According to
Bro. Obuah, it’s surprising and shameful that Mr. Abe can hardly comport
himself and allow the electoral officers to do their job expeditiously, adding
that if he (Abe) is not accusing the electoral officers of taking sides, he is
alleging one fraud or another just to play the spoiler, knowing full well that he
cannot win any election in the entire Rivers South East.
On the part of
PDP, the State Chairman said all that matters to the party is for the electoral
body to do the right thing and ensure a smooth conduct of the re-run elections in
which he believes the PDP will emerge victorious as usual.
“Notwithstanding,
we are keeping tap on every move by desperadoes and will never allow nor accept
any act not in consonance with the principle of one man, one vote, to determine
the final and overall outcome of the re-run elections across the State”, Bro.
Obuah warned.
It would be
recalled that Magnus Abe was reportedly spotted in INEC office on Monday and
Friday last week and again, on Monday and Tuesday this week.
