Campaign Group Berates PDP For Blackmailing Abe
The Abe Campaign
Organisation has described reports credited to the Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Felix Obuah, alleging inducement of Ogoni pastors and chiefs by Senator Magnus Abe to petition the Rivers State Election Tribunal as a figment of Obuah’s imagination.
Obuah had in a newspaper report (not The Tide) alleged that the Senator representing Rivers South East, Abe, induced Ogoni pastors and chiefs to petition the Election Tribunal over PDP’s victory at the last elections.
The group said that Senator Abe or his associates “do not need to induce already aggrieved voters to testify as witnesses over a concocted exercise that did not allow them choose their representatives.”
It expressed shock that Obuah was jubilating over “purported election independent bodies across the world have unanimously condemned.”
The organisation queried; “Did Senator Abe also bribe the European Union, United Nations, United States Embassy, Domestic and International Observers that described the exercise as a charade and rape of democracy?”
“Thousands of disenfranchised Rivers people are determined and ready to testify against the day robbery Obuah is celebrating and cheap blackmail will not deter them.”
The campaign group disclosed that it was not losing sleep over “a non-existing” issue called elections because it has enough evidence and legal batons to secure victory for Senator Abe.
