“They came and lied that we would not be on the ballot, they said INEC will not recognize us. But we are here on the ground to tell you that we are on the ballot and we are campaigning”.
On his part, Emeka Beke, the APC chairman in Rivers State who appealed to the people to get their PVC, also said,
