The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State has told the All Progressives Congress, APC, that its doomsday was only shifted by a week.
The party stated this while urging members to remain calm and not to be daunted by the postponement of the 2019 general election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The State Chairman of the PDP, Felix Obuah, stated this in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam on Saturday night.
The party noted that as shocking and embarrassing as the postponement is, Rivers people should remain peaceful and wait to exercise their franchise on the new dates.
According to Rivers PDP, the electoral umpire has only succeeded in temporarily postponing the ‘doomsday’ for the APC, adding however that ‘APC’s doomsday’ cannot be cancelled.
The statement added, “It is an incontrovertible fact that Rivers people and indeed all Nigerians are united in the quest to do away with the APC.
“Postponement of the election or not, APC’s doomsday is inevitable and must come.
“Nigerians and particularly Rivers people are poised to send the APC packing, the party has inflicted so much pain, sorrow, hunger and hardship culminating in untimely deaths.
“The PDP empathised with Rivers people who have expended so much resources and time to travel to their respective communities for the election.”
He urged them to “take their anger, waste of resources and time” to the election next Saturday; and ensure that the APC is out.
“The anger and disappointment arising from this INEC-APC conspiracy should sufficiently embolden Rivers people to troop out en masse on the rescheduled dates, so that the APC would become a thing of the past,” Obuah declared.
