Polls: APC exonerates army, alleges Wike, PDP behind violence in Rivers vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
…Releases photos, video evidence of attack on soldier, alleged PDP thugsThe Rivers state All Progressives Congress, APC, has urged the public to disregard what it described as lies told by the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the state against the Nigerian army. The APC in the state said Wike told lies by alleging that the Nigerian military interfered in the elections that took place in the state.
The APC scribe, among releasing photos of injured Nigerian soldier awaiting surgery, also listed many APC members whom he said were killed by PDP agents. The Rivers APC however, condoled with families of those who lost their lives during the elections held in the state.According to it, “Firstly, it is important that I clarify that the Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, was an active stakeholder in last weekend elections and the reason is that we formally endorsed and adopted the AAC governorship candidate, Engr Awara Biokpomabo.
We believe that if such a step was taken before or during the 2015 elections and thereafter, prominent APC members such as late Chief Christopher Adube and his 5 children and driver would not have been murdered in one fell swoop by agents in ONELGA in just one evening leaving the young son of Chief Adube consigned to the wheel chair to date.
We also send our profound condolences to the families of the lieutenant of the Nigerian Army and other officers and men who were targeted and killed or injured by criminals in the state. We pray that God grant their souls eternal rest while giving their family members the fortitude to bear their losses.
We very well recognise that the governor of Rivers State has successfully extended his penchant to bribe every soul under the sun to include observers of elections and other stakeholders in the polity with a view to unleash highly mendacious blackmail on our hardworking security agents and the intention is to get them out of the way. This is very unfortunate!
