Rivers re-run: Slap them back, shoot them too, Oyegun, Ganduje tell APC supporters
The heat being generated ahead of Saturday’s re-run elections in Rivers state has continued with the chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun, urging members of his party to retaliate whatever action they get from members of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Odigie-Oyegun, who spoke at the mega rally of the APC at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt on Thursday, described the rerun as “the beginning of a rescue mission” and encouraged the people not to be intimidated.
“I am glad with what I am hearing here today; very glad. If they push you, push them back. If they slap you, slap them back.”
He expressed his satisfaction with the turnout at the rally, and urged the people to turn out in large numbers on Saturday.
“I am very pleased with the turnout here today. It shows you are truly ready. As you can see, we came in force. The whole federal might is here. You have the governors of this nation here today.”
He added, “We are sending one message, and that message is clear. It is that we respect you the people of Rivers state. We respect the courage of our members in this state. We want to let you know that we have heard your cry; we have seen your anguish; enough is enough. This is the beginning of a rescue mission.
The Chairman of the APC Election Campaign Committee, Mohammed Ganduje, urged the APC supporters in the state to take cover whenever they were shot at.
The Kano state governor also urged the APC supporters in the state not to hesitate to shoot back at their attackers during the election.
