Minister of Transportation, Mr
Chibuike Amaechi, on Thursday urged APC supporters in Rivers not to allow
members of the opposition parties to intimidate them during the rerun election.
The rerun is slated for Dec. 10.
Amaechi, the immediate past Governor
of the state, gave the advice during an All Progressives Congress (APC)
campaign rally in Port Harcourt. He urged the supporters to be cautious and
defend themselves on the election day but warned that they should not kill
anybody.
”What I will tell you today is do
not kill anybody but do not be killed. “It is not only them that have the right
to life, you also have a right to life. I don’t want to hear that they shoot
and took away result sheets”.
The National Chairman of APC, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun, said that the party had huge presence at the rally due to
the respect it had for its members in the state.
”The whole federal might is here. We
have the governors here today. ”Our senators and other members of the National
Assembly are here today; our women leaders are here today to pass one message.
“That is because we respect you, our
members in Rivers State; we respect the courage of our members in Rivers State;
we are behind you.
”We want to let you know that we
have heard your cries; we have seen your anguish; the message is simple; enough
is enough. Enough is enough.”
The Chairman of the National
Legislative Rerun Election Campaign Committee of the APC, Gov. Abdullahi
Ganduje of Kano, assured the party candidates of victory in the rerun election.
Other APC governors who attended the
rally include Ibikunle Amusu (Ogun), Simon Lalong (Plateau) and Mohammed
Abubakar (Bauchi). Others are Samuel Ortom (Benue), Godwin Obaseki (Edo) and
Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto). Ondo State Governor-elect, Chief Rotimi Akeredolu, was
also at the rally. Some ministers and members of the National Assembly were
also present at the occasion.
