Former Governor òf Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, and an oil Surveillance Contractor in Nembe local government Kodjo Sam  led APC thugs to shoot throughout Friday night with the intent to seize electoral materials for Nembe Local Government Area.

The State Chairman òf the PDP, Chief Moses Cleopas, said in a statement that Sylva and Kodjo continued the violence and hijacked materials for seven wards in Bassambiri and the ones for Oluasiri, Nembe Local Government Area on Saturday morning.

Moses said that the rampaging APC thugs aided by soldiers on deployment in the area have taken the hijacked electoral materials to Darius Hotel, Bassambiri for thumb-printing.

He urged the security commanders to demonstrate their avowed impartiality by proceeding to Darius Hotel, Bassambiri, where the electoral fraud was taking place.

The PDP Chairman called on the Indepedent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) to note the violence and the thuggery in the area and cancel the election in the affected areas.

He stressed that no voting was taking place in the seven wards of Bassambiri.

He said that the APC thugs who have seized electoral materials for some wards are in pursuit of supporters of the People’s Democratic Party in the area.

He urged the Army authorities to investigate the activities of their men on deployment in Bassambiri axis of Nembe Local Government Area as the officers and men were claiming that they were acting on orders from above to protect and work for the APC thugs.

He also urged the commanders of the Army and other security agencies to protect the lives and properties of innocent PDP supporters under grave threat in the area.

He recalled that one Kenneth Adeboh, an APC thug, was killed in a crossfire in the shootout on Friday night while three others who received various degrees of gun shot wounds were taken to the hospital at the nearby Ogbolomabiri.






Moses who condemned the violence in strong terms said that supporters of the PDP are now taking refugee in the nearby Ogbolomabiri.

Press Statement ... Political Violence:Afenifere Condemns Attacks on Ndigbo in Lagos

Afenifere condemns in the strongest terms the political violence visited on Nigerians of Ndigbo extraction in Lagos during the Saturday Presidential elections.  Dirty political merchants and their band of thugs apart from engineering political disenfranchisement of Ndigbo,went ahead to visit violence on them and burning their votes en masse. The political vandals they used were said to have been calling themselves OPC but our checks with the genuine leaders of the group have shown that the deragend elements had no affiliation with the OPC known by Afenifere. We frown seriously at the failure of the security agencies to give adequate cover to Ndigbo in the affected communities as these thugs went berserk carrying out the instructions of their sinking political godfathers. We want to assure our Igbo Brothers and Sisters that the bond of friendship the Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have built particularly under the dynamic leadership of Chief John Nwodo remains strong an

"If our country ranks first in Africa, and the whole world is watching us today, it is not because we have the Vatican, the Kabba, the White House, the Elysee or the Taj Mahal here at home. No more because you have a certain Paul Kagame as Head of State, but rather because you have sons and daughters of Rwanda in this country. Men and especially young people and Rwandan women who have forgiven each other, and who have taken the destiny of their country in their hands, by the meaning of work, innovations and patriotism as key to their progress and development . What we are doing here in Rwanda is not a miracle, nor is it impossible elsewhere, it is simply the commitment of an entire nation, especially Rwandan youth and women, but also political will.

The intelligence and competence of our children wil
