Vice Presidential candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Peter Obi has expressed concern over fall
outs from some states in the last Saturday gubernatorial and state assembly
elections, particularly in Rivers state.
He said that the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, government had become so
shameless in their desperation and have become brazen in perpetuating their
rigging agenda.
Obi urged the international
community to take note of the oppression going on in Nigeria.
The former Governor of Anambra
state, in a statement Tuesday night, said that the militarization of election
to the extent of carrying collation center to a military location and denying
international observers access were clearly unacceptable and a grave breach of
democratic norms.
He said that needless involvement
of the military has aggravated the situation in Rivers state and wondered why
the undue interest in Rivers, a well known PDP stronghold.
He said that the Rivers state
Governor, Nyesom Wike should be the last to face this type of harassment given
his popularity among his people.
Obi stated that all reasonable
persons within and outside the country who desire the growth and sustenance of
democracy in this part of the world should rise up and condemn what is going on
in Rivers state.
“Any reasonable person should
know that Gov Wike is the last person to be harassed knowing what he has put in
just in four years in the delivery of democracy dividend,” he said.
The Vice Presidential candidate
also described as curious that all the six states that INEC declared elections
inconclusive are where PDP was cruising to victory before the process was
halted.
