The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has thrown its weight behind the current probe of the State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mrs Gesila Khan, by the Department of State Security (DSS).

The State Chairman of the party, Dr Davies IbiamuIkanya, also berated the People Democratic Party (PDP), for trying to stop the DSS from carrying out their duties.

“By petitioning the DSS over the probe of Mrs Gesila Khan, the PDP Reps have publicly exposed the unholy alliance between their party and REC Khan, of which we have been crying even before the March 28 and April 11 elections, in which she brazenly took sides with PDP and worked overzealously to return the party’s candidates for all the positions, so as to justify the huge sums of money she collected from the then ruling party and please her relation, former president Goodluck Jonathan,” he said.

The party challenged Khan to explain how she got the N700m reportedly found in her account, which the APC alleged was from Jonathan and Governor Nyesom Wike.

“If Col Sambo Dasuki (retd.), former National Security Adviser, former ADC to one-time Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (IBB), a scion of the royal caliphate in Sokoto, can be investigated by the DSS, then why the cry over the move to investigate Mrs Khan and her collaborators? Are they bigger than Gordon Obuah, former President Goodluck Jonathan’s Chief Security Officer, who is also being investigated by the DSS despite being a senior DSS official and still in service?”
