“We wish to strongly condemn this resort to violence by the drowning PDP, which, despite all our entreaties, has failed to see that politics is not war but a democratic way of allowing the people to voluntarily choose their leaders. It is unfortunate that rather than heed our previous advice to honourably withdraw from the governorship election to avoid being disgraced, PDP leaders prefer to unleash violence on APC faithful,” Rivers State APC Chairman, Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said.
“We, however, wish to assure them that we shall neither be intimidated nor stoop so low to embrace violence since we cannot take up arms against the very people whose mandate we are seeking through the forthcoming polls.”

Last Tuesday, it was alleged Gunmen believed to be hired by PDP leaders had opened fire on the APC supporters from Asari Toru and Khana local governments, leaving eight of them in critical condition and battling for their dear lives at the intensive care unit of the Kesley Harrison Hospital, Port Harcourt.
The alleged attacks took place at Abalama in Asari Toru local government and Kira in Tai local government, respectively.
Rivers APC sympathised with the victims of the unprovoked violent attack, assuring them that the party would never abandon them but was committed to their quick recovery and discharge from the hospital to enable them rejoin their loved ones.
