The campaign team of Dr Dakuku Peterside, gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has raised an alarm over what it called a plot to circulate fake posters of the candidate.
In a statement signed by Mr. Sylvester Asoya, special assistant (media) to Peterside, the campaign team said: “Our attention has been drawn to a plot by some persons to clone the photograph of Dr. Dakuku Peterside, the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Rivers State and are about to print and paste these unauthorized posters purported to have emanated from the APC. This is aimed at causing disaffection between the APC and Rivers people.
“We know that Rivers people are discerning, yet it is important to alert the unsuspecting public of this sinister plot by desperate politicians and mischief makers.
“We therefore wish to use this medium to urge our people to discountenance this attempt to portray our candidate and our party in negative light; and warn those behind this malicious and despicable act to desist forthwith or be prepared to face the full wrath of the law.
“For the avoidance of doubt, let us state that we are determined to work with all Rivers people to take our state to greater heights. We are conscious of the fact that integrity and decency are the foundation of every political engagement and must be so.
“We dissociate our party from this mischievous act.”
