Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike
has declared that the attempt by the Police
High Command to arrest the State PDP
Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah 48 hours to the
rerun elections is politically motivated and
aimed at giving advantage to the APC.



The governor also said that by declaring the
Chairman of Asari-Toru Local Government
Area , Sabomabo Jackrich wanted, few days
to the elections, the police may have been
influenced by political considerations.



Speaking in Port Harcourt on Thursday
during a radio phone-in Programme,
Governor Wike said the planned politically
motivated arrest of the PDP Chairman will be
resisted by the people.



He said that the Police High Command
brought in policemen from Abuja to disobey
the Court Order restraining Security agencies
from arresting PDP leaders before the
elections.



He said that he has given the security
agencies all the logistics support required
for the elections as Chief Security Officer of
the State, pointing out that the security
agencies have a duty to work within the law.



“Today, we received information that
policemen from Abuja are in the state to
arrest the PDP State Chairman. If the police
want to arrest PDP leaders 48 hours to the
election, the action is simply politically
motivated,” he said.



He described as unfortunate reports credited
to President Muhammadu Buhari on the
violence in Rivers State, noting that the
President never contacted him for
explanation on the security situation in the
state.



The governor said PDP was prepared for the
re-run elections, but the APC and the Federal
Government were not prepared as they are
merely interested in antics which will not
work.



On the petition written by the Rivers State
Government to the embassies of 50
countries, Governor Wike said it is a
confirmation of the readiness of the PDP to
participate in credible polls. He said already
the United States, Britain and Canada
amongst other countries have requested
meetings with him on the issue.



He added that the government has
uncovered plans by some politically
motivated individuals to ensure that card
readers fail in parts of the state, especially in
Obio/Akpor LGA.



Governor Wike said that PDP will win the
rerun elections because the party started
preparing since December last year when the
elections were nullified by the court of
Appeal.




He said: “APC cannot win any elections in
Rivers State. Do a Local Government by
Local Government analysis and you will
understand why the people prefer the PDP .”

I don't know what is wrong with Wike. He does not have respect for president Buhari. It is Wike that should write to or visit the president to tell him about the situation of rivers state, instead he decides to write to foreing embassies, thereby circumventing the presidency. This is total disrespect to Buhari and wike should be impeached and arrested
