The Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has denied planning to cause the arrest of leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state as the forthcoming rerun elections approach.
The PDP alleged on Monday in Port Harcourt at a press conference that the APC was plotting to cause the arrest of its chieftains in the state.
“The APC is a political party and therefore has nothing to do with security matters. That is the duty of security agencies. No one or political party should connect the APC to such matters under any circumstances” the APC said in a signed by its spokesman.
The opposition party in the state recalled that the PDP has made such spurious claims in the past especially before the last rerun elections on March 19, 2016 but no such things happened.
“We suspect that this is a red herring by the PDP to conceal or divert attention from some insidious and mischievous plans by the PDP and the Rivers State Government to undermine the forthcoming rerun elections,” the APC declared.
The APC called on Rivers people to be alert to the tricks of the PDP and reject them come July 30, 2016, as the party equally called on security agencies especially the Nigeria Police not to allow themselves to be blackmailed by the antics of the state governor, Nyesom Wike and his party, the PDP.
