Election irregularities in Rivers won’t be accepted

Dakuku Peterside, the APC governorship candidate has expressed
confidence that the electoral fraud allegedly perpetrated by the
Peoples Democratic Party during the elections will not stand.
Dakuku, who spoke in a telephone interview with our correspondent on
Tuesday, explained that it was too early for the PDP to celebrate
because the era of people getting away with electoral fraud was over.
He also described claims by the PDP campaign that media organisations,
civil society groups as well as foreign observers who issued reports
based on their observation were induced.
Dakuku said, "Are they saying that the European Union, the Embassy of
the United States in Nigeria and several well-meaning friends of
Nigeria who witnessed the sham in Rivers were induced?
"You cannot cover the sun with one finger. Everybody who witnessed
what happened in Rivers knew what happened. What about our party
leaders and members that were murdered?
"The blood of these innocent Nigerians and the tears of their widows
and orphans will surely speak. On our part, we are going to court to
seek justice for the Rivers people."
He spoke against the backdrop of a statement by his PDP rival, Chief
Nyesom Wike, who was declared winner of the election by the
Independent National Electoral Commission.
Wike had in a statement issued by his media assistant, Simeon
Nwakaudu, described statements issued by monitors condemning the polls
in Rivers as sponsored.
