PDP Alleges Plot to Annul Rivers Governorship Election - THISDAYLIVE

• Only election petition tribunal can overturn the poll, say legal expertsThe Peoples Democratic Party has raised the alarm over an alleged fresh plot by the All Progressives Congress , working with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami SAN, to cause constitutional crisis in Rivers State by moving to annul the governorship election recently won by its candidate, Chief Nyesom Wike.

Addressing a press conference yesterday in Abuja, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, recalled that in nullifying the APC primaries and barring it from fielding any candidates in Rivers State for the general election, the High Court held, and rightly too, that APCs’ primaries in the state were invalid and could not be considered.

It stated: “However, not done with the desperation to cause confusion and crisis in Rivers State, the leader of the APC in the state has engaged in fresh conspiracies to subvert the will of the people as expressed at the polls.” It said that in spite of these conspiracies by the APC, the will of the people of Rivers State prevailed, as they braved the odds, resisted all machinations and voted overwhelmingly for the PDP and all its candidates.

But in a response by the APC, its National Publicity Secretary, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said the PDP needed to accept the reality of its loss of the presidential election and stop seeking attention with outlandish allegations. “The problem with the PDP is that it does not accept reality. When it favours it, it accept the system as perfect; but when it goes against it, it condemns the same system. So, everything must go its way? No, society does not run that way,” he said.

If they shld try it ehn! Nonsense, as if we av not endured enuf of the worst election in history. Lets move on and focus on more important issues abeg!!! Pshwww....

When the same court barred APC from contesting PDP and its useless supporters were happy. Then what PDP wants now? War or earthquake?
