PORT HARCOURT (Sundiata Post) – The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it’s attention has been drawn to reports in the
media by some persons especially of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] attributing raids by security agencies on a location in Yeghe, Gokana Local Government Area and other security dark spots in the state to the APC.
“This trend of narrative being dishonestly foisted on the people through the media by elements of the PDP is most uncharitable, manifestly dishonest and flies in the face of logical reasoning”, the APC said in a statement signed by its spokesman, Mr Chris Finebone and made available to Sundiata Post.
The APC noted that “is important to remind everyone that the APC, as a political party, has no mandate to embark on security duties either on
its own or in conjunction with security agencies under any circumstances whatsoever. The APC restricts itself to its function of seeking political power through legitimate political process.”
The APC urged all and sundry especially members of the PDP in Rivers State to resist the lure of resorting to the convenient option of blaming its misfortunes on the APC.
Continuing, the APC said, “we expect the PDP to accept the fact that its rank is populated by known criminals and people with notorious history of criminality especially those appointed as Local Government caretaker chairmen and it would not be surprising if security reports point to them every now and then. The PDP is very much aware of this
and that is why Gov. Nyesom Wike has never presented any of his nominees to security agencies for security screening.”
The APC advised the PDP in Rivers State to look inwards and blame itself for the present kidnapping, armed robbery, cultism, killings
and general insecurity it has foisted on Rivers people and residents.

“If the PDP members disagree with our position, then they should lend a voice of support to the actions of the security agencies aimed at
restoring security in Rivers State rather than resenting and blaming others. Indeed, the PDP should blame itself” the APC declared.
