The All Progressives Congress has said that its agent in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers State has been arrested.
A statement by publicity secretary, Lai Mohammed, said that the agent, Emma Deeyah, a former member of the House of Assembly and House of Representatives, was arrested at the INEC office in the city, ‘without any cause’.
The APC believed that the brazen action was part of the plan by the Peoples Democratic Party to rig the elections in Rivers State and also the South east of the country.
The party said in Rivers State, all original results sheets have been removed and photocopied to pave the way for the PDP to write fake results of the elections in the state.
“Similar moves to manipulate the elections and engage in massive thumb printing, starting on Friday evening, with purchased PVCs are also taking place not just in Rivers but in the South-east”, the APC said.
”These developments are worrisome and do not bode well for a free, fair, transparent and peaceful elections.
“We are therefore calling on local and international observers to pay a close attention to these desperate measures aimed at thwarting the will of the people,” APC
said.
