Rivers Gov. Polls: 4 More Witnesses Confirm Wike Won April Election by TalkItAll: 1:04pm On Oct 02, 2015
Four more witnesses for Gov. Nyesom Wike of
Rivers, on Thursday told the State Election
Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja that the April
11 governorship election was peaceful
The witnesses, who were from different local
government areas of the state, also declared
that there were no cases of multiple thumb
printing and ballot snatching in their
respective polling units.
The witnesses added that they were duly
accredited by their polling unit officials and
also waited for their votes to be counted
before they left the venue.
The witnesses included Mr Obubeleye Briggs,
a lawyer, who voted at polling unit 1 in Ward
13 of Akukutoru Local Government Area, and
Rev. Canon Nwankwo, who voted at polling
Unit 7, Ward 12 in Ikwere Local Government.
Others are Mrs Nkpang Igonikon, a public
health worker, who voted at polling Unit 6,
Ward 5 of Akukutoru Local Government Area,
and Peter Michael, voted at unit 12 Ward 9 of
Andoni Local Government.
Briggs said that the election process was
hitch-free and that after the whole process,
the winner was later declared in his polling
unit.
Also, Rev. Canon Nwankwo, from the Anglican
Church, said that the entire voting process in
his unit was transparent and credible.
Mrs Nkpang Igonikon, a health worker, said
that she voted in her polling unit without any
form of violence.
Mr Peter Michael, a community leader, told
the tribunal that the election went well in his
polling unit and that the tribunal should
disregard “the lies of the APC witnesses”.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports
that during the cross-examination by the APC
Counsel, Mr Akinlolu Olujimi (SAN), all the
witnesses told the tribunal that they did both
manual and card reader accreditation.
NAN also reports that Wike has so far
presented 11 witnesses from seven local
government areas to prove that the election
was free and fair.

It's not about what the Witnesses said. They are meant to stick to a certain line of story. They have to satisfy their pay master. The major question you should be answering is "What happened during the cross examination?" where they able to respond? Your news should include that.

Abi. They have been failing miserably under cross examination and we are looking forward to a rerun. Less than 300k accredited for the governorship election but 1.4mill voted. It is time inec staff start being prosecuted for false testimony and election fraud.
