…claims Wike’s thug carted away materials during inconclusive Ikwerre LGA polls

The immediate past governor of Rivers state and Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said that his successor Nyesom Wike is a threat to democracy, a threat to free and fair elections in Rivers State.

Amaechi also stated that the elections in his Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA) is inconclusive because thugs sent by Wike violently disrupted the collation of votes for the LGA.

In a statement issued by Amaechi’s media office in response to the threats and allegations by Wike in THISDAY newspaper of Saturday, Amaechi described Wike as a clear danger and threat to free and fair elections, devoid of violence in Rivers State.

“Wike’s riotous comments in THISDAY of Saturday is disgraceful and shameful. His resort to blackmail, threats and more violence is a clear danger to the practice of democracy, to free and fair elections in Rivers State.”

“You would recall that Wike has been threatening INEC and INEC officials. Before the re-run elections, he threatened INEC officials coming to conduct the elections to write their wills before coming as if they were coming to die in Rivers State. Sadly, an INEC adhoc staff, a youth corper was killed, murdered. This is a classic case of the owl crying in the night and the baby not waking up in the morning. He threatened INEC before the elections and an INEC official sent to conduct election was murdered on election day, what
other evidence do we need to know who is responsible for the death of the INEC official?”

“Wike is a loose cannon, threatening INEC with violence, fire and brimstone. This is intolerable and completely unacceptable. No democracy can survive with Wike’s kind of attitude and disposition to elections. Wike can’t just go on and on threatening crisis, war and more violence just because of his desperation to win elections.”

On Amaechi’s LGA, Ikwerre LGA elections that Wike claimed PDP won, the statement described Wike’s claim as a cheap lie and another cheap attempt by Wike to blackmail INEC to announce an inconclusive election in favour of PDP.

On Ikwerre LGA, the statement said, “The problem in Ikwerre LGA elections was caused by the same Wike who sent his goons to the LGA collation centre to disrupt the collation. The collating officer for the LGA, Dr. Allwell Egeonu told the press and it is on video, that he was lucky to escape alive as thugs, hoodlums invaded the Ikwerre LGA collation centre in Isiokpo, that they were shooting for
over 30 minutes and everybody had to run for their lives.

The Wike goons took away all the materials. According to the INEC Collating official, nothing was collated in Ikwerre LGA. And this man’s story is on tape. He spoke to the media. The Collating Officer for Ikwerre LGA also went to the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Rivers State, reported what happened and also wrote about it to the State REC. A copy of the letter is available for all to see. The video is also available online. Many media houses reported it and showed the video.”

“So what result for Ikwerre LGA is Wike talking about? The man INEC sent to collate the results for the LGA, Dr. Egeonu says there is no result for the LGA because he didn’t collate anything, yet Wike is all over the place disgracing himself that Amaechi lost his LGA. He’s all over the place, threatening crisis, threatening INEC with fire and brimstone, for INEC to release a result that does not even exist, in the first place. You can now understand the kind of desperate fellow we are dealing with here. This must not
be allowed to continue. Wike cannot hold an entire state, hostage. He’s a clear danger and threat to the practice of democracy, and free and fair elections in Rivers State. If he’s not threatening crisis, fire and war against Rivers people, he is orchestrating and organizing violence against the people, the same people he swore to protect. This is condemnable, utterly reprehensible and
unacceptable”, the statement read.

You are also one of the threats to our nascent democracy with your bullish style of politics. You always speak of politics in the language of warfare. The crises in Rivers state would have been averted if you hadn't tried to foist an unpopular party on the people. I think the few results released so far have shown you where the hearts of Rivers electorates belong? Quit this hunt for Wike and busy yourself with challenges in the transport sector.

In a sane Society Wike would be investigate for crimes against humanity. A Governor who made all sorts of death threats. A Governor who continually defended murders and beheadings saying they were merely cult clashes! I know they would tell me what of amaechi? Amaechi 's tirade was basically an exchange of words with wike. I challenge any wailers to tell me what amaechi said that amounted to inciting violence. I only blame buhari who is just talk talk talk but no action. All he says is killers will be death with but he does nothing at the end of the day.

Amaechi a threat to state treasury

Amaechi just don't get it. Rivers people will never vote for APC even if the do ReRun elections in rivers state 1million times.

Amaechi should just walk down he streets and communities of rivers state with security to see what Rivers people think about him and APC....................Amaechi, if you want to try... please try the ReRun elections again in connivance with the Nigeria Army and INEC Rivers people will still vote PDP. all those your boys that were in PDP like Chidi Lyod that had the goodwill of rivers all lost because they contested under the Party APC. they would all be regretting now.....

Na chop i chop

The pussy cat of Ubima. The only work we have seen you do as transport minister is to ride/enjoy GEJ's train from Abuja to Kaduna. You have spent the rest of your time fighting Wike. Wike is the governor of Rivers State and needs support to deliver the dividends of democracy. He has done well so far and would do better if you stop the distraction. Rivers people have spoken loudly as regards to the political party they want. Long live Nigeria

rivers people vote pdp because of 'my brother, my brother' that's Nigeria for you! We don't play politics of development and ideology. We play politics of 'my bother' That's why the oyibos call us monkeys, that's why Nnamdi kanu calls this place a zoo!

Your day of reckoning is coming

Wat is d reason for the votes in Kano, Kaduna etc

So when is Ameachi going to comment on the Ministry they have him to Head? Yeye Dey smell!

ProfessorPeter:
let me also remind you in a sane society who talked about. No body would ve made Amechi a minister.

and why is that? Because you have sat your behind in your arm chair at home armed with your home made gavel and declared amaechi guilty or because a court of competent jurisdiction has found him guilty of wrong doing? Or perhaps because Mr wike has tasked his personal judge on his pay roll omereji to investigate amaechi. Choose from the options above, the one which is most appropriate to justify your assertion that Amaechi should not be a minister!

crixtex:


Wat is d reason for the votes in Kano, Kaduna etc

Same reason! I dislike Nnamdi kanu and I detest everything he stands for; but the one and only área I have agreed with him is that 'Nigeria is a Zoo'

hmmm... I tell you.. if nnamdi kanu had agitated for a more foreseeable cause like coming out against looting leaders, senators, etc... I wud ve been more happy...
However recent happenings, have made me start inclining towards him and wat he stands for...
