Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike,on Sundayvowed“armed robber’s treatment”would be meted on any official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that may attempt to rig next month’s legislative rerun polls in the state.
The governor  spoke at a Thanksgiving service over his judicial victory at Saint Peter’s Anglican Church that attracted PDP leaders across the  country.
He said:“I am the executive  governor  of  Rivers State and a strong  one for that matter.  We will support INEC  to conduct  credible elections.
“However,  any official  who plans to rig will get the treatment  reserved  for armed robbers“.
He also said that the  Supreme Court’s  judgment on  his election restored the confidence  of  Nigerians  in  the Judiciary as it confirmed  the  will of  the  Rivers people.
Governor  Wike  noted that God  worked in his time by reversing what several persons thought was irreversible  with the previous  judgments  of the Election Tribunal and the Appeal Court.
He said:“Nothing  is impossible  with God. Men of God prophesied  a few days to the Supreme Court  that the  judgment  will confirm the  mandate given to us by the Rivers people.
“We won the  election  clearly as has been confirmed  by the  Supreme Court. If there was a rerun, I wouldn’t  have  contested  because  there would  have  been  bloodbath. I resolved not to be part  of  anything that  would bring  bloodbath.“
Wike  said that an evil plot  had been hatched to arrest him, detain him to discourage  Rivers people  before  the  Legislative elections  earlier  scheduled  for February 6.
According to him,  the political  powers were already  indiscriminately  arresting  PDP  members  and leaders across the state, preparatory to the  rerun elections.
Governor Wike stressed that if the Supreme Court  had nullified his election,  he wouldn’t  have  contested the  rerun  governorship election because  of  the evil plot to use security  forces to instigate loss of lives in the state.
He assured  the  people of  Rivers State that he will judiciously  use the mandate to advance  the  course of  development  in the state.
He noted that the failure  of the evil plotters means that Rivers people will return  all the Legislators whose elections  were nullified  by the Appeal Court.
Governor  Wike called for a comprehensive fight against corruption,  urging  support for the prosecution  for all those who stole Rivers money to sponsor  APC  National election  campaign.
He alleged that between  December 1 and 18 of 2014,  the former Rivers State Government used $150 million to fund the APC  elections.  He said that the State Government  will  recover all stolen  funds.
The governor  assured  the Rivers State APC Governorship Candidate, Dakuku Peterside that he will be accommodated in the process  of  developing  the  state.
He  added  that  Dakuku Peterside  is not  an orphan, saying that:“I will  be  a father to Dakuku Peterside. He is not an orphan“.
In his sermon,  Archbishop of Niger Delta Province,  Dr. Ignatius Kattey, said that the victory  of  Governor Wike at Supreme Court has brought  peace to the  state.  He called on the  governor to be father of  all the people of the state.
In attendance  were Governors Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State, Seriake Dickson  of Bayelsa State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State  and the Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State.
Also present was the Former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, former Rivers State  Governors Peter Odili and Celestine Omehia and National and State Legislators.
