The alleged plans to cause maximum harm to election officials and voters in Rivers State on Saturday, during the Presidential election by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), have been condemned and described as evil.
The Greater Together Campaign Organisation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Rivers State, Dr Dakuku Peterside, made the condemnation in a statement signed by its Director of Communications, Ibim Semenitari, in Port Harcourt, yesterday.
The GTCO warned PDP to lay down such dastardly and satanic plans, noting that after all, President Goodluck Jonathan had said that his ambition was not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
It warned that PDP would be plunging Rivers State into avoidable chaos and bloodshed, if it went ahead to “unleash this ISIS-like terror on Rivers people”.
“We warn PDP against attacking election officials as well as Rivers voters who have the right to vote according to their conscience”, the  GTCO statement read in part.
According to the statement, the campaign outfit said it was in possession of detail plans of how PDP intends to cause havoc, mayhem and ultimately doctor the election outcome to the favour of its candidates.
“This is not only evil but against the spirit and letter of democracy that provide maximum independence of choice for voters. Only last Monday, in an action that should have sobered PDP and its goons, President Barack Obama of the United States, called for violence-free election in Nigeria of which, gratefully, Rivers State is part of. We, therefore ask that if the US President is this concerned for our peace, free, fair and credible election, why would PDP choose to upturn those gracious virtues?
The GTCO noted that “PDP can do anything when it comes to elections but that it would hatch such level of desperation and terror against Rivers people and other Nigerians who would have volunteered to serve the nation by working for INEC, is in the least, bestial, corrupt and evil.
It, therefore, called on the international community, to watch events in Rivers State, and reiterated that violence yields no peaceable fruit of righteousness.
The statement said that Rivers people need and deserve free, fair and credible elections, adding that the easiest way of achieving that is by allowing them to choose candidates of their choice under violent-free atmosphere.
