The former Reps deputy Speaker also said that security agencies professionally conducted themselves during the election.
According
to Daily Post, Nwuche said the result of the election is proof that the
All Progressives Congress (APC) has active supporters in Rivers state.
He also said “The
heavy security presence enabled voters to come out en mass to vote as
opposed to the past elections where they were intimidated and many
murdered in cold blood. Many of us spoke up and urged the federal
government to secure the lives of our people.
“I am happy the Federal government is now addressing the security situation more aggressively.
“The
law enforcement agencies are not only focused, but appeared to
understand the sophisticated and organized crime pattern better. They
saved the election. The presence of the Army ensured that people were
able to vote according to their conscience.”
The Senator representing Rivers South East Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe, also said that the heavy deployment of security agencies accounted for the success of the Rivers Legislative re-run election.
Rt. Hon. Chibudom Nwuche served as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1999 to 2003.
