The All Progressives Congress, APC, has stated that what happened in Rivers State on the 18th of March cannot qualify to be an election, rather, a process in which the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and the Nigeria Police helped governor Nyesom Wike to install the Governorship Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Siminialaye Fubara, as governor.
APC also disclosed that it would challenge the PDP’s victory in court, adding that it has not conceded defeat.
The party further alleged widespread violence across the states during the polls which claimed the lives of five of its members in the Ahoada West Local Government Area.
APC disclosed this in a statement yesterday in Port Harcourt, signed by its Chairman, Chief Emeka Beke and spokesman of the Party, Darlington Nwauju, in response to the state-wide broadcast by the state governor, Wike, after Saturday’s polls.
