Members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) who have been denied opportunity to participate in the 2019 Elections in Rivers State are at present at the receiving end in Port Harcourt as security outfits have fired bolts of teargas at them.
Irate members of the party are currently protesting at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Rivers State.
The protest is premised on the recent ruling by the Supreme Court over the stay of execution issued to INEC on fielding candidates for elective positions in Rivers State.
However, policemen and soldiers have fired teargas to disperse the crowd.
There is heavy presence of security operatives in the area, as the protesters are insisting that elections will not hold in Rivers if the APC candidates do not contest in the elections.
