Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation and former governor of Rivers state has expressed optimism that the All Progressives Congress will defeat the Peoples Democratic Party in Saturday’s rerun election in the state. Daily Post reports that Amaechi said he will be clubbing in Governor Nyesom Wike’s village on the eve of the election because he is sure of victory.

The minister was said to have made the declaration on Monday, March 15, when campaigning for his party at Rumueme Ward 10, Obio/Akpo local government area of the state. “One clear message I will send to Nyesom Wike is, I will come to his village on Friday; I’ll be in the night club because I’m sure we will win,” said.

According to him, the federal government will secure the lives and properties of the people of Rivers state if Governor Wike cannot maintain law and order in the state. The Rivers state re-run election will be holding on March 19 in the three senatorial districts, 11 House of Representatives and 22 state assembly seats. There is heavy security presence of both soldiers and policemen ahead of the elections.

Amaechi and Wike have been engaged in a war of words. Wike said Amaechi was a failed governor who needs urgent psychiatric evaluation and treatment, adding that he will be probed for corruption. Following the recent killings in the state, Chibudom Nwuche, a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, has begged for the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari so as to avert further loss of lives.

Lion. Tell the empty flat headed outgoing gorvernor

Rivers is PDP just like Kano is APC. Get that into your head Mr Amaechi.

cckris:

Kano APC? Why then did they kill the Kano State Resident Electoral Commissioner, few hours after the polls, in order to cover their massive electoral malpractices in 2015

I don't know the true strory behind the REC's dead, but I know for sure that Kano is one of the strongholds of APC. Even though the result presidential election was manipulated
