Description

PORT HARCOURT – ALL Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Rivers state, Tonye Cole, has said March 11 elections were too sensitive and critical to the state that anyone who interferes with the due electoral process would be made to choose between life and death.
Cole at a stakeholder gathering in Port Harcourt on Wednesday was motivating the Igbo community in Rivers state to damn all fears and come all out to vote APC in Saturday’s governorship and State Assemblies elections, just as former transportation minister, Rotimi Amaechi assured Igbos in Rivers that any property lost to election violence would be adequately replaced.

Urging Igbos across the state to come out to vote, Cole told the gathering, “Don’t entertain fear. Nobody will steal your vote. The military will be out to protect your votes. And anybody that interferes with your vote should choose between life and death.

“Don’t go anywhere after you have voted. Make sure it is counted, entered into the results sheet, and transmitted. We will protect these votes. The future of Rivers, I dare say the future of Nigeria is at stake. 25th February will go down in the history of Rivers state as the day Igbos expressed selves loudly. You stood up, and spoke loudly and everybody knows what happened.”
