Chukwudi Akasike amd Friday Amobi, Port Harcourt

AHEAD of the July 30, 2016 rerun election, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has accused the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, of hobnobbing with the state Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Davies Ikanya.
Wike also alleged that Yakubu met with Rivers South-East senatorial candidate for the APC, Senator Magnus Abe in company with the state APC chairman on July 19, 2016.

The governor, who addressed thousands of the Peoples Democratic Party supporters at the Rivers East PDP Senatorial Campaign Rally in Okehi, Etche Local Government Area on Thursday, explained that such an action was inimical to a credible legislative rerun election in the state.

Wike expressed regret over the posting of compromised policemen to Rivers State with the aim of damaging the security network ahead of the rerun elections.

He further accused the INEC national chairman of planning to postpone the July 30, 2016 rerun elections in deference to the fear of defeat allegedly expressed by the leadership of the state APC.

Wike wondered why anyone would be happy to destroy the state just because “they wanted to satisfy the politician who funded the APC national elections efforts using Rivers State resources.
“They are frustrating elections in Rivers State because of one man who sponsored elections for APC. They have posted electoral officers from the APC states to rig elections and they want to accede to the request of the Rivers State APC to post out the Resident Electoral Commissioner.

“But the truth is that nobody can rig elections in Rivers State. The INEC national chairman only has the power to postpone elections, but he has no power to rig elections here.

“As I speak to you, on 19th of July, 2016, the APC chairman, Davies Ikanya, Senator Magnus Abe and others; 7.30 to 8pm were with the INEC national chairman in his office.

“Rivers State is key to the development of this country. Will they continue to deny us representation at the Senate and majority of the constituencies of the House of Representatives?”
He, however, called on the people of Rivers State to continue to resist every attempt by INEC to rig elections in the state because power resides with the people.

Reacting, the state Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Chris Finebone, said, “Let it be on record that neither Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya nor the Rivers State South-East Senatorial Candidate of the APC, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, separately or as a group, met with the chairman of INEC or any INEC personnel at the commission’s headquarters or anywhere else as contrived by Governor Wike.

O Lord! Ur children are in ur hands pls cover us with ur umbrella of protection.


Pls everyone should be careful ur blood is too precious to be wasted.

Ok

A thug will forever remain so.

INEC should conduct this rivers election in a free and fair manner to avoid unnecessary waste of lives again.

APC is not popular in Rivers state so,it can rig election there.

This 1 wey sheikh Booohari don appoint abokki full everywhere,INEC,DSS,EFCC,Police IG,Chief of Army staff,na him be say wahala dey ooo.
Nigeria has never had it this bad.

I dey come

Amaechi trying to force APC on the people. Even if APC had a chance of winning, with this current situation in Nigeria nobody will want to vote APC especially in South. Rivers is PDP and Amaechi should let peace be.

INEC under this regime is not doing good at all. Partisanship everywhere.

The desperation of Magnus Abe to win Rivers South east Senatorial district is something that leave much to be decipher.He has being ranting in Radio stations of recent and has deceived his people Ogoni with the more you look,the less you see UNEP clean up of Ogoni land.

For the record,Rivers is PDP and PDP is Rivers.INEC should allow the people to elect their leaders.

Despite the hobnobing and back tipping, APC remains an alien party in Rivers State!


No fear Wike, when the chips are down, the results will come out natural with a positive skewed direction!

na dere e dey start

Wike the wise and fearless one. They can't intimidate you the honorable Barrister. Much love and respect for you..


Zombies should tell buhari, Rivers people don't sell their right for pottage like the Judas Ameachi did..

O Lord protect and sock my country bro in the east in your blood.
Any politician trying to redeem himself with their blood shall have no peace in jesus name

Let the people stand. No amount of money or rigging can stop the people when they stand for what they believe in

Which rerun again? Is it for the governorship or what?

When people say they will vote out buhari in 2019 i just dey laugh. If you think apc will conduct a free and fair election like jona did, then you have another think coming. Apc will rig and rig and rig and rig until the word rigging is removed from dictionary.

Wike again, Mama Peace already gave u d state na

Vote Hon. Tony Ejiogu for River State House of Assembly Etche Constituency 11

Irrespective of who's popular or not in the state, I feel inec can't conduct a free and fair election when there's war in that state like what happened in the last election there, Inec ll save it's head too not to die in course of election mind you both parties are violent in that state!

Sum greedy Corpers will still partake in dis blood sucking Rivers election again.. God save our soul!!!

INEC under the dullard of Daura is a disaster

Amen Bro. I only weep for those corpers who will partake in dis election again.

Who doesn't know



But I trust my Rivers people


Just like PDP can't have their way in Kano

APC should not be allowed to have theirs in Rivers or anywhere in the south!

Wike crying wolf..

polabo:
Wike crying wolf..

Don't mind him, it's the same rigging process that made him the governor of Rivers State

Wike keep quiet na, allow INEC do their job.

Remember Amaechi cried like this during his time as a Gov when you(Wike) connived with GEJ and PEJ using Gesilal Khan the Inec chairman to rig your way in.


You forgot how security was withdrawn from Amaechi, using Mbu to intimidate him, when Government house main entrance was blocked by police, and Gov Amaechi has to use back entrance of the government's house, you have not seen any of these persecution from the federal, but you are already shouting.


Buhari is very kind to let everything be, otherwise you should know where you belong by now.


You better keep quiet now, my advice.

Jombojombo:
INEC under the dullard of Daura is a disaster

Weldone sir, for your contribution sir.







Man spotted

What else do you expect when BUHARI appointed his direct blood relative as the INEC chairperson? She is bound to do the biddings of her direct relative. In LAW, its a taboo and lawyers will call it : NEMO JUDEX INCASAUSAU. hope I spelt it right.

Very soon, APC will start unleashing media propaganda against Wike and opposition candidates.

The current Chairman of INEC lacks integrity, he is being remote-controlled

What Buhari, INEC and APC fail to understand is, Rivers is a peculiar State. If they rig in unpopular candidates the country will feel the heat later.

INEC pls allow free and fair election, let Rivers people elect their leaders as APC is not popular in the State

Hobnob?? Is it digestive biscuit?
