Ahead of the State and National Assembly re-run elections in Rivers State on 19th March, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Rivers South East Senatorial District, Senator MAGNUS ABE has appealed to other candidates to dissuade their supporters from engaging in violence.In a statement signed by his Spokesperson PARRY BENSON, Senator ABE said it was the duty of every leader, irrespective of political affiliations, to ensure that his supporters shun all forms of violence and thuggery before, during and after the elections.He enjoined all candidates to lend their voice to the campaign against political violence, stressing that it would go a long way to saving lives.The statement further condemned the recent comment credited to the Rivers state Governor NYESOM WIKE that INEC officials coming to Rivers state should write their will, describing it as not only inappropriate but unhelpful, as that is a call to violence.ABE also called on the youths to refrain from making themselves willing tools in the hands of unscrupulous politicians, who want to use them to perpetrate violence for their selfish aggrandizement, while their children are living comfortably and safe overseas.
