The amended law empowers the State Governor to appoint anyone into local government caretaker committees as often as he pleases, without tenure limits as had been the case before now.
In a statement; the Rivers APC said what the State House of Assembly has done amounts to a rape of democracy like in the dark ages.
State Publicity Secretary of APC, CHRIS FINEBONE said those embarking on such political journey would ultimately be held to account for their actions someday.
The Rivers APC also challenged Governor NYESOM WIKE to show proof about his claim that the Independent National Electoral Commission planned to rig the forthcoming rerun legislative elections in the state.
The Rivers APC said it was not surprise about what it described as another wild accusation because it fits into the Governor’s usual pastime of trading on unfounded accusations just to prepare the ground for electoral mischief.
The APC State Publicity Secretary, CHRIS FINEBONE called on INEC not to be distracted by such diversionary antics, but to ensure that every aspect of the forthcoming rerun elections in Rivers State is transparent and credible to prove Gov. Wike wrong.
The Rivers APC also criticised the governor over a purported boast that his recent presence in Edo State intimidate his counterpart, Governor ADAMS OSHIOMHOLE, leading to the postponement of the governorship election in that state.
