Ahead the March 19, 2016 re-run elections into the national and State legislature,  the All Progressives Congress (APC),  National Working Committee (NWC) has alerted the  security agencies and other relevant bodies 
that the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has ochestrated  strings of gruesome politically-motivated killings against  APC members in the State 

 ''Rivers State has been transformed into a killing field, with APC members being murdered on a daily basis '', the party said in a statement signed by Engr. Segun Oni, its Acting National Chairman.

 The party gave  specific details about  the several killings which includes that of  Franklin Obi, the APC ward chairman in Omoku,  headquarters of Ogab/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area,  his wife and 18-year-old son, Bestman; That of four APC members   killed in Obibi, Etche LGAs, and  that of  Gabriel Cookey  in Opobo, Opobo/Nkoro councils. 

 ''In the last two weeks, over 30 APC members have been killed in different parts of the State'', the party declared, attributing the killings to   the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike.

The party explained that Governor Wike had in a brazen show of force told officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) 
to prepare their will before coming to conduct the elections in Rivers state.

 The APC further alleged that  Wike had told  civil servants in the state to either support and work for the People Democratic Party (PDP) or face sack, 
while  voters, INEC officials and security operatives deployed to the State are equally intimidated and threatened.

 The APC maintained that the situation has become distressing, tragic and an emergency, urged  the Police and other security agencies to as a matter of urgency, rise up to stem the tide of politically-motivated killings and other forms of violence in Rivers State.
