Though their names are not on the ballot papers but
the election is largely a battle between Governor
Nyesom Wike and his predecessor, Mr Chibuike
Amaechi who is now Minister of Transportation.
They
are the two personalities who will largely influence the direction of things at the state level. They have
gone round the three senatorial districts
wooing voters for their party candidates. Wike
needs members of his Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP to win the state House of Assembly seats to
gain firm control of the House given the significance of
control of the House to any governor. A governor
can be thrown out of his seat by the
lawmakers if he does not exercise a good grip on
the
House and its activities. He also needs his loyalists in the PDP to represent the state at the National
Assembly, believing that it will enhance his synergy
between his government and the lawmakers. On his
part, Amaechi apparently would want to use
this rerun to prove that the defeat suffered by the
APC in the last election was largely on account of the
reported irregularities that characterised the
election
during which he could not even vote.
