Rivers State APC Are Trying To Bribe Pastors And Chiefs - PDP

The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused one senatorial candidate of the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state of trying to bribe the some pastors and chiefs in Ogoni.

The PDP said that the APC want’s the Ogoni chiefs and pastors to petition the state Election Tribunal that no elections took place in the area.

In a statement yesterday, PDP chairman, Mr Felix Obuah blasted the senator for trying desperately to remain in office despite the people having another opinion.

Obuah warned against such surreptitious moves to plunge the state into unnecessary chaos after the APC had failed in its pre-election propaganda to incite the people and even during the elections to carry arms against the state.

He reminded the senator that he who goes to equity should do so with clean hands.

“Both the senator and the APC should also know that the proof of whether or not elections took place in Ogoni goes beyond the sum each of the false witnesses is being paid.

“We warn that such willing tools who have been paid the paltry sum of N200,000 each to bear false witness to discredit elections that were hailed by both local and foreign observers as free, fair and credible should beware, as the offence of perjury still remains a serious crime in the country,” he said.

The Rivers APC has cried out against the recent Guber elections in the state saying it was filled with irregularities.
