LG Boss Condemns APC Violence In Rumuche
The Executive Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, Chief Tom Aliezi has warned against the use of violence by desperate politicians to subdue their opponents in the area.
He warned that nobody or group of persons has the monopoly of power and right to deprive others their freedom of association.
Aliezi said this, last Monday, while speaking with newsmen in Emohua, the local government headquarters on the recent violence between members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the area loyal to Senator Magnus Abe and another faction loyal to former Governor Chibuike Amaechi in Rumuche community in Emohua Local Government Area, last Sunday.
He advised that politicians should concentrate on how to gain the support of the electorates, rather than thinking of how to harm each other.
According to reports, violence erupted when members of the APC loyal to Amaechi invaded the venue of a meeting of another faction of APC loyal to Magnus Abe, destroying their canopies, chairs and food items.
The Emohua chief security officer condemned the desperation by both factions of the APC, and advised members of APC not to cause tension in the area that has been enjoying peace for some time.

The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
