We’ll Resist Inec’s Plot To Postpone Elections In Rivers, Says Wike by Teebeke: 1:20pm On Jan 20, 2019 |
Ernest Chinwo in Port Harcourt
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has
declared that the people of the state would
resist a plot by the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone
Rivers 2019 general elections to allow the All
Progressives Congress (APC) prepare.
Addressing the Rivers State PDP Campaign
Rally yesterday at Okehi, Wike said alleged
that INEC was working in liaison with the
APC to illegally postpone Rivers elections and
create room for manipulation.
Ad
He stated that two years ago in Ondo State,
INEC established the precedent that no
election would be postponed on the
account of intra-party crisis.
His words: “We know all the tricks of INEC.
INEC is a fraudulent institution that lacks
credibility. Because of Rivers State, INEC will
sink. As the election is approaching, INEC is
trying to give hope to APC in Rivers State.
Remember that INEC is a member of the APC.
It is number three on the APC official
register.
“Two years ago, PDP had a problem in Ondo
State. Three days to the election, Court of
Appeal gave judgment and PDP requested
for postponement, but INEC bluntly refused
to grant that request.
Ad
“Now APC has a problem and INEC is
claiming they will postpone Rivers elections
to give APC opportunity to prepare. I am
warning INEC not to try that rubbish in
Rivers State.”
The governor said the INEC Commissioner
who is circulating the negative propaganda
should seek God’s forgiveness or face divine
consequences.
He reminded Nigerians that Former
Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris
was forced out of the police because of the
evil plans he had for Rivers State.
Ad
“Anybody plotting against Rivers State will
not survive,” he said.
Speaking on the forthcoming elections, Wike
urged the people of Etche to vote for Atiku
Abubakar and other PDP candidates on
February 16 and March 2. He said a vote for
Atiku Abubakar would lead to the revival of
the national economy, which will enhance
employment.

The governor charged the Chairman of Etche
Local Government Area to mobilise the
people of the area to collect their voter’s
cards for the forthcoming elections.
Ad
On the development of Etche, Wike said
when re-elected, he would commence the
construction of a major road, linking key
communities in the area and that he would
also complete the Sports Academy in the
area.
Also speaking at the PDP Campaign Rally,
National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche
Secondus, said Wike deserves a second term
because of his outstanding projects delivery.
He wondered why the APC Federal
Government continues to plot against the
Rivers State Governor when they should
shower praises on him for good
governance.
The PDP National Chairman warned that any
attempt to rig the forthcoming elections will
lead to crisis.
“If they want to cause civil war, let them not
obey rules and court order. I believe our
security agencies are well trained, only a few
of them dance to the tune of the APC”, he
said.
Speaking further, Secondus said that
President Muhammadu Buhari runs the
most corrupt administration in the history
of the country.
“The APC leadership is jittery, that is why
they want to frame Atiku Abubakar. When
Buhari was the Minister of Petroleum, who
stole N2.8billion?” he said.
Ad
The PDP National Chairman said that the
Former Rivers State Governor, Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi was indicted, but Buhari has
refused to refer him to EFCC for prosecution.
Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah
handed over the PDP flags to the Rivers East
Senatorial Candidate, Senator George Sekibo;
PDP House of Representatives candidate for
Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency, Hon
Ephraim Nwuzi; PDP Candidate for Etche
Constituency 1, Mr Nnanna Opurum; and PDP
Candidate for Etche Constituency 2 , Mr Tony
Ejiogu. |
