Nullification Of
Election Of APC Candidates
…Says
Victory, Further Proof Of Magnus Abe, APC’s Ill-Fate In December 10 Re-Run
Election
The Chairman, Rivers
State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bro Felix Obuah says he is
impressed with the judgements of the Appeal Court, nullifying the purported
election of the two All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates, Andrew Miller
and Eldred Braide for Opobo/Nkoro and Degema State Constituencies respectively,
and declaring the candidates of the PDP, Adonye Kelly Diri and Farah Dagogo
winners for each of the constituencies.
The PDP Chairman
described the Thursday, December 1 and Saturday 3, 2016, Appeal Court judgments
as not only a correction of miscarriage of justice by the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) against the authentic winners in the March 19,
2016, Legislative Election in the two areas, Hon. Diri and his Degema
constituency counterpart but a further proof of the overwhelming and
indisputable popularity and stronghold of the PDP in the State especially in
Opobo/Nkoro LGA, home of the defeated
2015 APC governorship candidate, Mr. Dakuku Peterside.
He also stressed that
Hon Diri’s victory has again justified its position that the carcass left of
the APC, including Mr. Magnus Abe and Dakuku Peterside, can never win any
election in the area, having been rejected and deserted by the people of that
Constituency.
The Rivers PDP happily
applauded the highly revered jurists of the Appeal court for taking an unbiased
decision and upholding the rule of law, thereby sustaining the dignity of the
Judiciary in the face of apparent intimidation and pressure by the undemocratic
forces of the All Progressives Congress to subvert the will of the people.
PDP Chairman, Bro Felix
Obuah, who was visibly cheerful over the development, believed that all the
claims by Mr. Abe and Dakuku about their popularity in the Rivers South-East
senatorial district have been rubbished by Hon Diri’s victory, wondering where
else their hope lies in the December 10 re-run elections, if not with the
connivance of the Independent National Electoral Commission, their hired
security personnel and political thugs to hijack the electoral process and rig
the election in their (APC) favour.
Bro Obuah congratulated
Hon Diri, who he described as a gallant, unwavering, popular and loyal party
man, on his victory, particularly for securing winning votes at the polling
unit and ward of Dakuku Peterside of the APC in Opobo.
He urged all party
supporters to remain steadfast and resist being intimidated to allow electoral
fraud freely carried out by members of the APC in the coming election in parts
of the State, and particularly charging the electorate in the State to come out
en mass and vote for all candidates of the PDP during the December 10, re-run
Legislative Elections in the State.
