Bori (Rivers) – Mr Magnus Abe, the All Progressives Congress’ candidate for Rivers South-East Senatorial District, has urged his supporters not to retaliate the attack on his Senatorial Liaison Office.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that unknown persons burnt the liaison office in Bori, Khana Local Government on Feb. 22.
Abe, member of the 7th Senate, made the appeal at a meeting with his supporters at Bori on Tuesday.
He said the move would avert bloodshed, destruction of property and anarchy in the area.
He urged his supporters to see non-violent approach as a sacrifice that would not turn their mother land into a theatre of war.
Abe sympathised with families that lost their dear ones in the attack and prayed that God would give them fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
He assured the people that the perpetrators of the heinous crime would be fished out by the security forces, adding that nobody was above the law.
