Members of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, numbering about 2000 persons, staged a peaceful protest to the Rivers State House of Assembly complex on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, demanding the swearing-in of Victoria Nyeche representing Port Harcourt Constituency 1 and Andrew Miller representing Opobo/Nkoro constituency who were elected on the platform of APC as members of the Assembly.
However, Mr Felix Obuah, the Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, has accused the APC of embarking on the protest ostensibly to scuttle the re-run elections in the state.
The PDP chieftain, in a statement in Port Harcourt, said: “It is now very clear that the APC has devised a new strategy to put the rescheduled re-run elections in the state perpetually on hold to make up for its unpreparedness.
“The ploy include cooking up fallacies and spurious allegations, and using such as basis for state-wide protests against the July 30, 2016 concluding re-run elections in the remaining eight local areas of the state.”
