Rivers Community Dismisses Police Report Over Explosion At APC Campaign Ground PoliceReport
“Members of the People’s Democratic Party in the community were the ones who attempted to disrupt the APC rally in the community, even after the APC had secured the use of the community playground to hold its rally.“They wanted me to deny APC the use of the space but I refused because APC had paid N200,000 for the use of the space.
“I reminded them of our resolution in October last year, when we took a decision that any political party that wants to use the playground should pay the sum of N200,000.00 and since APC had paid, they should allow them to use the space.“I insisted that we can not change our decision at the middle of the game. But some of them were not comfortable because they are PDP members.
“So, it was not a chieftaincy or leadership tussle as claimed by the police. It’s purely a political crisis between PDP and APC members in the community. “Members of the community belong to different political parties including APC and PDP. Of course, they are free to belong to any political party of their choice. No one should intimidate another for exercising this freedom. That’s the beauty of democracy.
“Rumuwoji is a peaceful community, therefore, we should not allow politics to tear us apart or bring disunity among us.”
