Its not money politics or FG might that will play in Rivers state

Its about letting other tribes have a taste of power.

Other tribes will wrestle power from Ikwerre.
but i think rigging is easier with a high level of acceptibility of either the party or the candidate.the simple truth is that apc is a one man show in rivers state.secondly,amaechi is seen as a traiter by the Ijaws and that will remain for a very long time.so anybody ameachi presents from the riverine will not be taken seriously but that is not to say that this permutations will stop apc schemes.you are not out of point though.we need to be vigilant.they can rig and ask you to go to court,we all know what it means when they tell you that.

Wike wants to starts the drumbeats of war,when nobody has any fight with him. It is this same arrogant and boastful nature of Fayose that drew the calvary to Ekiti State,and the rest as they say is history.

If you are bothered about the EFCC, which seems to be on your mind lately, then concentrate on keeping the States financial records clean. So that when you leave, you will not end up in jail.






I can understand if you are under informed about d political happenings but m sure u are not.. Pls rewind back to last month, the election in phalga for a seat in d House of assembly.. See how apc came with wat dogs.. U r saying wike is beating drum of wat.. APC had already declared war oga.. And note, Rivers isn't ekiti..

North is PMB and PMB is north.

There is no way North will not vote a tribal-minded Buhari over any detribalised politicians like Atiku et el. People down south do not care who rules north or south, Christian or Moslem but the person must first see himself a Nigerian before other considerations.

call it what ever you want, Buhari defeated your hero. So anything but Buhari is ok by you.

Here in the north, he will finish the good work he started. PDP should just forget 2019 and start working hard towards 2023, go and vote for atichukwu and we'll vote for PMB

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to even contemplate presenting a governorship candidate for the 2019 election in the state shows that something is fundamentally wrong with the party.

Wike spoke in an interview at the Government House, Port Harcourt, stressing that aside from the plot to rig, the APC has no platform to campaign upon in the State.

“For the APC to think of bringing somebody in this state to challenge me, shows that something is fundamentally wrong with the party.

“What has the Federal Government done for the APC in Rivers State? What has Rivers APC achieved? Mention one thing. Is it in terms of the roads, the airport or seaports?” he queried. He regretted that the APC did not believe in credible polls, noting that rigging and fraud were in the DNA of the party.

“All their meetings, all their gatherings at the federal level, whether by hook or crook, they must have Rivers State. They want to use soldiers, SARs, DSS. All cries by the international community don’t matter. Just take Rivers State first,” he said.

Governor Wike said as a Minister of State for Education, his contributions to the development of Rivers State were scattered across the state.

He wondered why the current Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has failed the people of Rivers by refusing to attract a single project to the state.

Governor Wike said: “When I was a minister and he was in APC, I brought development to the state. For example, I brought the Faculty of Law to the University of Port Harcourt. I brought grant of N500 million to Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic and the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education.

“I’m from Rivers State and must contribute to the development to the state. As at the time I was in the Federal Government, he was the governor under APC and there was no development in the state. I brought the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) intervention to Rivers State. This is my State.”

Wike said, as governor of the State, he has transformed Rivers, citing key projects across the state. He said his third-year anniversary celebration underscored the fundamentals of good governance with leaders across political, traditional and social divides commissioning key projects.

The governor said in October, his administration would commence another leg of project commissioning. He noted that President Muhammadu Buhari would be invited to commission projects, even though he is unlikely to honor the invitation for political reasons.
Governor Wike said contrary to the propaganda of the APC, he is not against the federal government, adding that he is only committed to the fight against injustice.

“That’s the misconception; I don’t stand up against the federal government. I stand up against injustice and marginalization. It has nothing to do with the federal government. If this government is not in place tomorrow, and another government comes and perpetrates injustice, I will stand up against them. It has nothing to do with federal government,” Wike said.

On the alleged media propaganda by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), on the management of Rivers State finances under his leadership, Governor Wike maintained that the law had declared that the EFCC has no power to investigate the state government.

He said: “I’m not interested whether EFCC backs off or not, being a body that does not respect the rule of law. That is what the federal government is all about, impunity. You heard the president say national interest supersedes the rule of law. I’m not against the EFCC fighting corruption if at all they are fighting corruption.

“My concern is for us to do things in accordance with law. The law says we have a federation comprising the federal government, the states, and the local government areas. We go to the monthly federal allocation when money comes to the federation and all tiers take their share. The federal government is now saying the money that comes to states will be monitored.”

He noted that the EFCC could only be taken seriously, if it operates within the rule of law, by successfully appealing the 2007 judgment between the commission and the state government.

“I was not here in 2007 when the Rivers State government went to court against the EFCC; to say the commission has no constitutional power to interrogate the finances of the State government. And the matter was adequately addressed and judgment was given against EFCC. Since 2007; EFCC has been struggling to appeal the judgment. EFCC has not succeeded up till now. What they are doing now is when they feel a government is not pro-Buhari, let’s do this.

Mr wike, you are so so afraid of APC. It shows.
You specifically mentioned the party to express your bothering in the next election.
Wike, we know you are jittery. You don't need so express it indirectly. And you don't even pray that the party should present any candidate.
Just do what you can do. God will crown the rest.

Oga,90% of voters in ikwerre are non indigenes while 60% of voters in ijaw areas are indigenes.you know this moreover voters turnout is usually low.what pdp does is to inflate votes in ph and obio akpor.before 2015,pdp never encountered resistance to their rigging but with apc resisting next year,pdp will struggle.
The reason why rivers polls is becoming violent is because of pdp.in 2015 polls,amaechi and apc thought the polls will be free and fair.before he knew what was happening,pdp overran the state.amechi vowed never to allow this happen again.subsequent rerun and bye polls in rivers saw apc well prepared for pdp which usually led to violence.to withstand pdp in rivers you must counter their game.if you go there naively expectant a free and fair polls,pdp will surprise you.

I hope you can still remember the recent byelection in Rivers State. It was inconclusive but unofficial results released so far should be enough to give you and Wike a nightmare. Everyone should forget about rigging in 2019, that was in the past under pdp at the the national level.

You are just too good, analytically. Wike's threat of violence and actual carrying out of violence won't work next year, he knew that already. Rivers State, like Akwa Ibom state won't have their usual 97% registered voters turn out and they should equally forget their usual 95% votes for PDP and 5% for APC.

Don't mind him, I doubt if it is the same north that I come from that he is talking about. Yes I know that some people (Muslims) see buhari as god but that not with standing, there are still sane people in the north.
