Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs has assured his party members and supporters that justice is certain for the party.
His Facebook Statement Reads;
‘I have maintained from the beginning that my case is simply that of a Goliath who is afraid of a David. Everything the PDP has done is simply to show their fear by bringing frivolous accusations to ensure that Goliath never gets to meet the David that brings him down. First with order 21 which states that you need to apply to your competitors to allow you approval for the use of venues that are public property for campaigns. And because they have misused their resources, they have put a 5 Million Naira fee to be collected from other parties to fund their campaign.
Again, they have come up with order 22 saying persons who have campaign offices in residential areas will have to apply again for approval for their offices. They have brought actions they ought not to bring to ensure that their candidate is the only candidate, and while those actions are still pending, they are further saying that all other candidates are not allowed to campaign, and Rivers people should not have the opportunity to make the judgment call of the party they want to form a government.
I keep wondering why the PDP is afraid of contests because they are so massive a party and they have been in power since 1999. They say the other parties don’t have structures, yet those who are said to not have structures are frightening them so much that they want to even close their offices. It is the height of irresponsibility by the PDP.
We have decided to remain peaceful because Rivers People will make their choice and the will of the people will prevail over the schemings of the PDP who want to remain in power by all means within and without the ambiance of the law. Though judgment has been reserved from today’s proceedings, justice is certain for ACCORD.’
