The All Progressives Congress party in Rivers State has intercepted very credible intelligence of plots by the police authorities in thes State, principally coordinated by a few tactical teams under the command (e.g. C4i unit etc), to begin a manhunt for members of the APC in Rivers State, especially our House of Assembly candidates who are determined to reclaim their mandates through constitutional means in order to frustrate the push to reclaim these stolen mandates at the Election Petitions Tribunal (EPT).
This latest strategy is to say the least, emblematic of the serial illegality, conspiracy, intimidation and harassment that the opposition political parties have had to face and have continued to face under the despotic reign of the outgoing Government.
We wish to warn the police authorities in Rivers State to stop the open display of partisanship which was brought to the fore on the 25th February and 18th March 2023, when the free will of Rivers people to voluntarily pick their representatives and Governor was scuttled by the INEC and the Nigerian Police Force.
For the purposes of emphasis, no amount of threats, harassments or intimidations can deter Rivers APC from reclaiming all the mandates freely given to our party by Rivers people as we are already aware that the INEC in Rivers State is struggling to provide evidences of the elections it claimed to have “perfectly” conducted in Rivers State on the 25th February and March 18th 2023.
Signed:
Darlington Nwauju
