…Says Those Penciled Down Include Leaders of Affected
Wards
As part of plans
to outsmart its opponents and coast home with undeserved victory in the
December 10, 2016 re-run legislative elections in Rivers State, the All
Progressives Congress, APC, has penciled down the names of members and
supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, they wish to cage during the
re-run elections, the State PDP leadership has revealed.
Information from
the office of the State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah and signed by his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam said the plot is to frame up
unfounded charges against these people considered as stumbling blocks in the
wards where the re-run elections will hold with a view to getting them arrested
and detained by security operatives, before the December 10, 2016 date for the
re-run election, and such persons would not be released until after the
elections.
The State PDP
leadership said it’s in possession of the list of the names of all its members
and leaders labeled and marked for the hangman’s noose, stressing that the plot
will be resisted with the last drop of their blood.
Those already
marked for arrest include the PDP leaders in all the wards and units where the
elections are holding, he added.
Information at the
disposal of the PDP reveals that the APC leadership in the State including
Magnus Abe, Barry Mpigi and other APC leaders in the affected areas for the
re-run elections compiled the list of PDP leaders sent to the security agencies
for arrest.
“We are therefore
calling on the security agencies and the Nigerian people to take note of this
evil plot which is certain to trigger off another round of avoidable crisis in
the State due to the overzealousness of a few APC political desperados”.
Warning against
hatching such plot, the State PDP boss advised all PDP members and supporters
not to panic but firmly stand their ground, believing that as usual, and God
being on their side, APC will remain a bad loser it is.
