Your ‘victory’ will be short-lived, Rivers PDP tells Abe

The Rivers state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Felix Obuah has told the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded re-run election in Rivers South East Senatorial District, Mr. Magnus Abe that it is too early to jubilate over his declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as winner of the Senatorial District.
A statement signed by the chairman’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity; Jerry Needam said the PDP was confident that the hurried jubilation by Abe would be short-lived as the truth behind his ‘emergence’ would soon unfold.
Regretting what he called “the despicable manner” in which Magnus Abe, Barry Mpigi, Mr. Derrick Mene and other chieftains of the APC in Ogoni connived with the Army, SARS, Police and APC thugs to kill and maim members of the PDP, the Rivers PDP said it was only a matter of time before the truth unraveled.

The party further accused Abe and the APC of pushing their desperation to the extent of kicking against the redeployment of the SARS Commander, who was caught red-handed by drone cameras hijacking INEC result sheets and other materials.
Obuah said recent events in the State have already exposed the APC in their unholy quest to win elections at all cost, pointing at the Sahara Reporters concocted audio on His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike, as a ploy to cover up the atrocities they committed to ensure victory for Magnus Abe and other APC candidates.
Obuah said these actions exposed APC’s desperate moves because it knew the game would soon be up as their evil deeds would be exposed, maintaining that Abe had only a day before the ill-conceived, manufactured audio, boasted on a radio programme that an ‘audio evidence’ would soon be released against Wike.
