NEWS: NIGERIA - Rivers: APC dedicates Appeal Court’s verdict to victims of election violence

Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), has dedicated Friday’s Court of Appeal ruling that sacked two senators of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the family of late Chief Christopher Adube and others killed before, during and after the 2015 general elections in the State.

This is even as calm pervaded the state, after the annulment of elections of two senatorial and 12 House of Representatives seats

It also ordered re-run elections for those seats in 60 days from the date of judgment.

The APC said it believed that there could not be a better way to bid farewell to victims of electoral violence in the state, than to dedicate the “recovery of our stolen mandates to the ultimate sacrifice the late Chief Chris Adube, his three children, younger brother and driver made, when they were murdered in one fell swoop in the late Chief’s home on Good Friday, April 3, 2015”.

In a statement issued yesterday, by the Publicity Secretary of APC, Chris Finebone, the party said: “We dedicate these victories to Police Corporal Ifeanyi Okorie killed when the APC Governorship Campaign Team was attacked at Okrika, and close to 100 others killed before, during and after the 2015 elections in Rivers State.

“We acknowledge the fact that, despite being slow and cautious, the wheel of justice has started its tortuous journey and will not stop until those behind the entire debacle that took place in Rivers State either as direct killers or manipulators of the electoral process, are held to account by the law of the land.
