The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday said it has observed with dismay "the jumping in and out of the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Abuja, by Mr. Magnus Abe, the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate for Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the forthcoming rescheduled re-run National Assembly election in the State."
In a statement from the office of the State chairman of the PDP, Bro Felix Obuah, he demanded to know whether he (Abe) "has relocated his campaign office to the INEC office," noting that his frequent visits to the electoral house was not only disturbing but also very suspicious.
According to the statement by Jerry Needam, the special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Obuah, "it's surprising and shameful that Mr. Abe can hardly comport himself and allow the electoral officers to do their job expeditiously, adding that if he (Abe) is not accusing the electoral officers of taking sides, he is alleging one fraud or another just to play the spoiler, knowing full well that he cannot win any election in the entire Rivers South East."
On the part of PDP, the State Chairman said all that mattered to the party was for the electoral body to do the right thing and ensure a smooth conduct of the re-run elections in which he believes the PDP will emerge victorious as usual.
"Notwithstanding, we are keeping tap on every move by desperadoes and will never allow nor accept any act not in consonance with the principle of one man, one vote, to determine the final and overall outcome of the re-run elections across the State", Bro. Obuah warned.
