The Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, received the news of the postponement of the July 30 rerun election in Rivers State with mixed feelings.
In a statement signed by APC Rivers, Publicity secretary, Chris Finebone, the party said it is huge disappointment considering that it will further deny the people parliamentary representations at both the national and state levels while the pressure on our candidates to sustain their campaigns continues apace.
He continued, “However, considering the reasons adduced by the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] for the postponement, the APC believes that had the members of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] led by Gov. Nyesom Wike abandoned their official policy of resorting to violence as a tool for seeking political power, the postponement of the rerun elections would have been unnecessary.
Indeed, we blame the postponement on the sustained violence and killings orchestrated by the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] in Rivers State.

The latest of the string of violence the PDP has been perpetrating in the State is the burning down of INEC office in Bori last Friday morning after Gov. Nyesom Wike’s hate speech against INEC and APC leaders a few hours earlier at Okehi.
