The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has
observed with dismay thejumping in and out of the office of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Abuja, by Mr. Magnus Abe,
the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate for Rivers South-East
Senatorial District in the forthcoming rescheduled re-run National
Assembly election in the State.
A statement from the office of the State chairman of the PDP, Bro Felix
Obuah, demanded to know whether he (Abe) has relocated his campaign office
to the INEC office, noting that his frequent visits to the electoral house
is not only disturbing but also very suspicious.
According to Bro. Obuah, it’s surprising and shameful that Mr. Abe can
hardly comport himself and allow the electoral officers to do their job
expeditiously, adding that if he (Abe) is not accusing the electoral
officers of taking sides, he is alleging one fraud or another just to play
the spoiler, knowing full well that he cannot win any election in the
entire Rivers South East.
On the part of PDP, the State Chairman said all that matters to the party
is for the electoral body to do the right thing and ensure a smooth
conduct of the re-run elections in which he believes the PDP will emerge
victorious as usual.
“Notwithstanding, we are keeping tap on every move by desperadoes and will
never allow nor accept any act not in consonance with the principle of one
man, one vote, to determine the final and overall outcome of the re-run
elections across the State”, Bro. Obuah warned.
It would be recalled that Magnus Abe was reportedly spotted in INEC office
on Monday and Friday last week and again, on Monday and Tuesday this week.
