The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State told the All Progressives Congress (APC) to concede defeat and congratulate the governor-elect, Nyesom Wike.

Chairman, Media and Publicity Committee of the PDP Campaign Organisation (PDPCO) in the state, Emma Okah, who made the call while speaking to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, denied allegations that the April 11, 2015 Governorship and State House of Assembly elections were fraught with irregularities.



Okah said, “The victory recorded is a call to duty to repair and restore Rivers State. We urge the losers to be courageous and honourable if truly they are democrats. They should emulate our beloved President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, who, as a true statesman, has shown the way forward in sportsmanship.
“Rather than fan the embers of disunity and peddling of falsehood, they should congratulate the winners. It is indeed paradoxical that whenever the PDP loses, it is alright and the process is adjudged free and fair.
“Yet, whenever our great party wins, especially in Rivers State, it is followed by spurious allegations of irregularities, fraud and calls for cancellation. The PDP in Rivers State affirms that these allegations are untrue and the handiwork of bad losers. The party convincingly won all the elections in Rivers State after rigorous work, campaigns and manifestos acceptable to the electorate.
“The party condemns in totality, these allegations intended to smear our sweet victory. We reiterate that our victory is a reward for hard work. We assure our opponents that the people of Rivers State are the victors and there will be no victims, or the witch-hunting of anyone for that matter. Let us respect the rule of law as democrats.”
