AHEAD OF SATURDAY'S LEGISLATIVE RERUN ELECTION IN RIVERS STATE

AHEAD of Saturday’s legislative rerun election in Rivers State, the All Progressives Congress has said that it would not fold its hands and allow the Peoples Democratic Party to intimidate its supporters with violence, vowing that it would be an eye for an eye.


The Minister of Transportation and APC leader in the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi; APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; and the Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Mohammed Ganduje, who spoke separately at the party’s mega rally in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, said they would not be at the receiving end of any form of violence during the election.

While Ganduje, who is the Chairman, Rivers State Election Rerun Campaign Committee, told APC supporters to take cover and shoot their opponents if they (opponents) pulled the trigger during the exercise on Saturday.



Amaechi, in remark, said, “Before, I used to tell you; please, don’t fight, I think I will bend it a bit. What I will tell you is that do not kill anybody, but do not be killed. If you allow them shoot you, you will die. So, don’t allow them to shoot you. It is not only them that have the right to life, you too also have the right to life.

I don’t want to hear they shot me, they took the result sheet. Anybody, who takes the result sheet, take it back from him. You know I have never spoken like this before. Now, my phones will be off on Saturday; don’t call me. The only time you will call me is from 6pm to tell me how we have won.
Rivers APC also noted with joy that with the return of Kalabari Prince and political strongman Ojukaye Flag Amachree from Wike’s gulag, the election of the People’s Speaker, Rt. Hon. Otelemaba Dan Amachree, as Senator for Rivers West Senatorial Zone, is now guaranteed. “With the mammoth crowd that attended Ojukaye’s Thanksgiving ceremony at Buguma, the historical Headquarters of the Kalabaris, few days ago, PDP’s OSINAKACHUKWU T IDEOZU should stop his dream of going back to the Senate to continue his sleeping spree instead of contributing to the serious business of the Senate,” the statement said.
It declared that “the time has come to free Rivers State from the shackles of doom and blood hunters as the State deserves strong voices in the Senate at this point in time and that is why the election of Abe, Andrew Uchendu and Amachree as Senators including the under listed APC Candidates on December 10 becomes imperative.” Finally any vote for PDP is a vote for elongation of killing of Rivers State people by Wike and his PDP gang.
