Victim of 2015 election was remembered by Apc of Rivers State


During a press statement signed by the Publicity Secretary of APC in Rivers Stat; Chris Finebone, according to the party, the death of the over 100 persons including security agencies, will stand as the saddest period in the political experience of the state.
The statement made by the party also read that more lives are still being taken after the elections, in circumstances suspected to be political.

It reads:
“It is exactly one year since the rivers state chapter of All Progressives Congress, (APC), and other stakeholders held the rivers black day march in honour of all those who were killed before, during and after the 2015 general elections in Rivers state.
“We recall that the APC lost well over a hundred persons to the political violence that preceded and trailed that election and the killings have continued apace ever since.

“Security agents also lost their officers and men in the process; same for innocent non-partisans who also were killed mainly as collateral damage.
“Even after the general elections and the rivers black day march that took place in Port Harcourt, Monday, 30th November, 2015 and to this day, more lives have been needlessly terminated on account of political violence.

“One among the many lives that have been snuffed out includes late Carr. Ken Atsuwete.
“The APC dedicates rivers black day anniversary to the memory of all persons including security agents and non-partisans who lost their lives before, during and to this day due to the peculiarly violent politics some politicians introduced into the body polity of rivers state, because of their burning inordinate ambition to rule over others and corner the peoples’ commonwealth.

“It is the fervent hope and prayer of the APC that by consciously keeping alive our memories of all victims of violent politics in Rivers state, the party is ensuring that those victims who paid the ultimate price did not do so in vain.
“More importantly, the APC believes that honoring the dead will go a long way in putting a closure to the pains and anguish of fathers, mothers and relations who lost their loved ones to political and other forms of violence in Rivers state in the recent past.
