CHAIRMAN, Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Felix Obuah, has called for an immediate arrest and prosecution of the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Magnus Abe and Dr Dakuku Peterside over Saturday’s poll fiasco.
In a statement, Obuah said the APC leaders, alongside Jukaye Flag Amachree and others, masterminded the violence, killings and various electoral malpractices during the Saturday rerun in some parts of the state.
The PDP chairman also demanded the arrest and prosecution of Mr Barry Mpigi for hijacking electoral materials in Tai Local Government Area to his home town, Koroma, with the aid of the military.
Obuah also accused the former Commissioner for Youth in the state, Mr Felix Nwaeke, who, in connivance with an army captain, absconded with all electoral materials for ward 2, Obeakpu, in Oyigbo Local Government Area.
According to him, Mrs Ibim Semenitari, aacting Managing Director of NDDC, “has shown that she lacks manners and does not possess the honour of a woman, as she engaged in ballot paper hijack and falsification of polls results.”
He strongly condemned the involvement of the army in the elections which, he said, heightened tension in the state.
The PDP chairman also bemoaned the assassination attempt on the Chief of Staff, Government House, Emeka Woke; the assault on the Secretary to the State Government, Kenneth Kobani and other PDP leaders, who had been marked for arrest and detention.
