PDP Reveals APC’s Alleged Plan to Hijack Rivers, Akwa Ibom Election Re-run

The opposition People’s Democratic party has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress has put ploy in place to forcefully take over the gubernatorial poll re-run in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States.

Major stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Akwa Ibom State have accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of plans to forcefully hijack the re-run elections in both the state and Rivers State, Vangurad reports.

The party Chieftains, who spoke through Senator Anietie Okon, at a briefing in Uyo, in reaction to media reports of November 4, 2015 credited to the Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, that “Rivers and Akwa Ibom states are very strategic to APC”, warned that any attempt by the APC to subvert the collective will of the Akwa Ibom people as manifestly expressed in the April 11, 2015 governorship election, would be resisted.

Okon said:“When the APC talks about Akwa Ibom and Rivers states as being strategic to their objectives, it appears it is their ravenous and ghoulish intent to take over Akwa Ibom State by force and that implies that there is a determination by them to break all the rules and break all the laws and through subjugation, conquer the Akwa Ibom people.

“It will not happen. We are not surprised given the document that is credited to the APC where they detailed their plans to trample upon the express will of the people by their chaotic, riotous and contradictory process that have been handed down through the tribunal.”
