The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has questioned the release of some aides of Governor Nyesom Wike, who were arrested by security operatives during the controversial re-run elections on 19th of march 2016.
The River's APC is of the opinion that the release of the men from custody of security agencies was done hurriedly.
Of particular concern to the APC is the release of the governor's chief of staff, Emeka Woke, who was detained in connection with the alleged assassination attempt on the party's governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside and other APC chieftains.
The APC also expressed shock over the release of the SSG, Kenneth Kobani, as well as the Special Assistant to the governor on special projects, Cyril Dumi-wite.
State chairman of APC, chief Davies Ibiamu Ikanya disclosed in a statement that the party's hope for justice was raised when the government officials were arrested for various acts of election malpractice.
The APC chairman challenged security agencies in the state to conduct their activities in a way that would convince everyone of their impartiality.
Chief Ikanya described the legislative re-run as a violence-ridden sham, insisting that it must be cancelled in totality by the independent national electoral commission.
He also appealed to APC members and supporters not to be demoralized by the turn of events but to remain steadfast in their support for party .
He maintained that those with God are in the majority, adding that evil will never outshine good .
