PRESS STATEMENT Tribunal: Rivers State APC exposed as desperate liars and political cheats


The testimonies that the Rivers State  Governorship Election held on April 11, 2015 went on peacefully and successfully without  any reported  incident  of violence  by the  three senior security  officers who coordinated  security  for the election at the Governorship  Tribunal  have exposed Rivers State APC as a gang  of  desperate  liars and cheats.

The testimonies of the Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP A. Kenneth who served as Area Commander for Bori Zonal Police Command in charge of nine local government areas and that of Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, Uche Mike Chukwuma who served as Divisional Police Officer, DPO, for Ahoada East Local Government Area on Election Day proved the Rivers APC as desperate liars who hired junior police officers, junior DSS operatives  and junior soldiers  to lie shamelessly at the Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal.

Also, the testimony of Emmanuel Philips, the Rivers State Governorship Monitoring Team Commander of the Department of State Services, DSS at the tribunal further exposed the irredeemable lying habit of the Rivers APC.

All three senior security personnel who directly  handled security for the Rivers State Governorship Election on April 11 confirmed same to be peaceful and violence free. They declared that there were no cases of snatching of election materials and no reports received from field officers to that effect.

These officers between themselves monitored elections in 15 local government areas. Unlike the junior security hirelings of Rivers APC, they were active participants and observers. The liars called by Rivers APC told the tribunal that they were only told stories of the election.

Having been exposed as shameless liars and political cheats, the APC resorted to using the Police High Command and the compromised DSS Leadership to intimidate the witnesses of truth. Once again, the have failed.

Despite the  Rivers State APC Legal  Team at the tribunal  denying  that  the  Rivers  State  APC  did not facilitate the desecration of the temple of justice  by the police officers and DSS  operatives  who attempted to arrest the witnesses  of truth, all circumstantial facts point to the direction of the propaganda  and corruption hugging  party.

The Rivers State APC was rejected  by the people  of  Rivers State because  of  their love for corruption  and  their diversion  of Rivers  State  resources  to sponsor  party candidates  across Nigeria  to the tune of 80 percent.  Over N3trillion  accrued to Rivers State under the administration  of  former Governor  Rotimi Amaechi,  which was squandered on political  frivolities,  leaving the  state completely  under-developed and debt ridden. The Rivers State APC  left salaries and pensions  unpaid with students on foreign  scholarships abandoned  to suffer.

Rivers  people  were under obligation  to teach the Rivers  State APC  a political  lesson and that was what they did on April 11.
