PORT HARCOURT— Rivers State Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, led by its Chairman, Dr. Davies Ikanya, has called on the Senate, the Federal Government and the Police to look into the recurring crises in the state, alleging that supporters of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have continued to attack the opposition with guns.
Ikaya, who addressed newsmen at the APC state secretariat in Port Harcourt on the attack on APC delegates who were going for the presidential flag-off campaign of Gen. Mohammdadu Buhari, said that no level of intimidation will make PDP recapture the state as the people will vote APC.
Ikaya called on the police to investigate the attacks and bring the perpetrators to book, warning that nobody has the monopoly of violence. He also alleged that every act of political violence in the state was traceable to the PDP.
He said: “We proved our popularity in the state again as almost 100, 000 people came out to appreciate the wind of change, but PDP has again attacked our members coming from Khana and Asari-Toru Local Government Areas for the rally and six people who sustained various degrees of injuries were hospitalised.
“I call on the Senate, the Federal Government and the traditional rulers to help APC stop the introduction of gun battle into the Rivers State politics by the PDP. Every act of political violence is traceable to PDP because APC, as a humble party, has edged them out, so they are resorting to violence. No level of intimidation will stop Rivers people from voting their party, APC.”
