Senator Magnus Abe has said that his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, would challenge the Commission of Inquiry setup by the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, to investigate the violence and killings that marred the December 10 re-run elections in the state.

Abe, who stated this yesterday in Port Harcourt during a media parley with newsman noted that the setting up of the commission is to indict the leaders of the APC in the state.

Abe said Wike lacks the morale to constitute a panel to inquire what transpired in the election when he has boycotted the panel already constituted by the Inspector General of Police.

He said it is necessary to challenge the commission because a commission should be unbiased, adding that past commissions setup by the governor had demonstrated that the intention was to indict APC members and exonerate PDP members from any crime.

Abe said: “I think this is the joke of the year. Like every other joke that has been reduced to pen and paper, we are going to treat it seriously. We will challenge that so-called commission in the Court”.
