Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) lacks the capacity to conduct credible polls in 2019.

The governor said Nigerians should not be deceived by the statements usually released by INEC because the commission works negate her mandate.

He spoke at the Government House Port Harcourt on Thursday when he granted audience to the Senate Committee on INEC.

He said: "Let's not deceive ourselves, INEC is not prepared for credible elections. If there is an agency that is not prepared for 2019, it is INEC . I have no confidence in INEC. There is no amount of INEC's preparation will convince me.

"INEC chooses how it interpretes laws to suit those they support. They choose the court orders to obey and the ones to disregard. In one state where it favours a particular, they obey. In another state , INEC will claim they are yet to see judgments not in favour of the party they support ".

He said in 2019, any attempt by INEC to negatively manipulate the will of the people will be resisted.

"In 2019, whoever wants to manipulate the process to destroy the outcome, the people will come after that person and the family.

"We will not agree that for anybody to rig elections here in Rivers State. Nobody will do anything contrary to the will of the people ", he said.

He said that results are declared at the polling units, but INEC goes ahead to manipulate results at the collation centre as was done in Osun State.

The governor said that the National Assembly has budgeted money for INEC for them to squander, but not for the conduct of credible elections.

Governor Wike added that the refusal to sign the amended Electoral Act is a ploy by the APC Federal Government to rig the 2019 elections in connivance with INEC.

He said that despite the fact that the National Assembly continues to amend the Electoral Act in favour of the Presidency, the APC Federal Government continues to generate excuses why they will not sign the amended Electoral Act .

He said that INEC and Police are two institutions that impede the conduct of credible elections in the country.

Chairman of the Senate Committee on INEC, Senator Suleiman Nazif said that the committee was in the state to to carry out assessments on the preparedness of the commission for the conduct of credible elections in 2019.

He said that the committee carried out oversight functions on the available card reader machines, voter registers and other facilities needed for the 2019 polls.

the best VP need to rescue the innocent citizen in idp without waiting for the useless senators approval as a God fearing pastor.

I've observed that Wike is more concerned about the elections in Rivers than the presidency

okay now! you all dont even know politics

A small boy asks his Dad, "Daddy, what is politics?" Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense." So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. The little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father having sex with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in Deep Shit.

Inec has won the election for buhari, I registered for voters card but they said I didnt working class is screwing government this time around!

ALL DIS PDP LOOOOTERS..

SAI BUHARI

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT BUHARI..

Then resign and don't contest....that's the best way a an upright man will protest perceived injustice that will be meted against him by an institution he/she doesn't believed in. .

Rescue with the same rice rotten away in NEMA store?


Do you guys even think before talking? Why always bias when it comes to your corrupt people?

Dindinrin
Abi pdp go lose

Na today? When did INEC organise Credible Elections in the past? Was it in 1999, 2003, 2007 or 2011? These your present troubles were what the Opposition endured in those heady years without consolation! Learn to live with it as the Opposition did way back then, because it's going to be a long STAY in the cold for you!

yes now...inec only knows how to conduct a good election...when wike & pindinpi wins...idiots of no conscience!

That's wike speech after the election

so what shall we do
or I should call Ghana electoral commission or IBEC, ASU, NAPSU, NLC to conduct it.
though ASU should have been better but they may strike in the day of election or when election remain one hour to end.
