Chidi Lloyd, an ally of Rotimi
Amaechi, minister of transportation, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of
turning against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state.
The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) had suspended the governorship and state house of
assembly elections indefinitely, citing “widespread disruption”.
But Lloyd, director-general of
the campaign organisation of Tonye Cole, governorship candidate of the Amaechi
faction of the party, accused Buhari of abandoning APC party members in the
state “when they needed him the most.”
Speaking as a guest on Channels
Television’s Politics Today, he alleged that the state’s election results were
doctored till the exercise was suspended because Buhari turned his back on
party members in the state.
“The party is being treated like
this in the state because of our support for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015
and unfortunately for those who supported the president, he has turned his back
on us,” he said.
“We are in the pains, we are in
pains to watch President Buhari do this to us… President Buhari should open up
a probe into the activities of INEC.”
The APC chieftain also accused
the electoral body of using “well known PDP fellows as collation officers in
the state.”
