Ahead Of December 10
Re-run Election
…As Party Raises Alarm
Over Dakuku Peterside’s Confession
The Rivers State Chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro. Felix Obuah says the party is
worried over revelation by Governor Nyesom Wike that majority of policemen
providing security for him have been withdrawn by the State Commissioner of
Police.
The PDP Chairman in a
statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam condemned
the action of the State Commissioner of Police and said the development is a
source of concern to Rivers people and clearly showed the desperation of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) to rig the December 10 Re-run Election in the
State.
The party said it was
much more worried by the confession made by the defeated Candidate of APC in
the 2015 Governorship Election, Mr. Dakuku Peterside few hours after Governor
Wike’s statement, that he (Dakuku Peterside) had had discussions with security
chiefs and officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
regarding the Re-run polls.
Bro. Obuah said the
confession which was openly made by Dakuku Peterside in a radio programme in
Port Harcourt on Saturday confirmed the fears of Rivers people that powers from
Abuja are desperate to foist the APC on Rivers people at all cost.
“The unguarded remarks of
Mr. Dakuku Adol Peterside who boasted that he had already concluded discussions
with security chiefs and officers of INEC on the December 10 Re-run Election
coming few hours after the withdrawal of majority of policemen attached to
Governor Wike may not be a coincidence” Bro. Obuah stated.
The PDP said the party
would not allow the revelation by Mr. Dakuku Peterside to be swept under the
carpet, calling on security agencies to investigate the confession as its
consequences are capable of threatening the December 10 poll.
The party urges security
agencies to be apolitical during the December 10, 2016 Re-run Election, to
promote peace and restore the confidence of the people.
