Surrender yourself, opposition Parties tell Guber candidate declared wanted by EFCC
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s governorship candidate Siminialayi Fubara, who was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been urged by the opposition parties to present himself to the anti-corruption agency, stating that he cannot be above the law.
The Spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Darlinton Darwuju, said: “We think EFCC should be more proactive by going beyond making such declarations. Various social media platforms have been awash with a viral video of an attack on EFCC operatives who attempted to effect Fubara’s arrest.
“If this is a nation of laws, then, there is no way any law-abiding citizen should rather choose to unleash mayhem on law enforcement officers and still be walking the streets freely.”
Darwuju said Fubara’s dilemma portends a red flag to the character of the PDP candidate in the state and the need for the voting public to be more circumspect and make informed choices.
On his part, Publicity Secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the state, Esedi Joe David, said: “We in SDP believe in the rule of law, whether rich or poor, justice should prevail. We have nothing against Fubara but if he has done something against the law, let the wrath of the law prevail completely.”
He stated that SDP in Rivers is not scared or requesting for any walkover in the governorship elections, adding that they have the mandate of the people and they look forward to winning with their candidate, Senator Magnus Abe.
“We are not celebrating his doom, if God allows it, and if it becomes an easy ride for us in the election, so be it. Let the will of God and will of the people prevail.”
