You are 100% correct. I weep for the future of my beloved Rivers and Nigeria in general. The irony of this ugly scenario is that the more innocent people that die the more their blood will be crying for vengeance, consequently the more the killing. Until our leaders in all sphere; political, religion traditional rulers and Co rise up to find solution to this menace.

How will development comes to a state with cult killings everyday. The entitlement mentality of my brothers and sisters in this part of the country must stop. Imagine a scenario where a woman farm on another person plot of land without permission and when the owner comes to develop his land, the woman was asking for compensation to her crops that needs to be uprooted just because she is an indigen of that community.

donbachi:
What do you expect?a state where 80% of public office holders,assembly members,royal fathers and their subjects are all cultists...talkless of the youths....all you hear from them is "na we ooo,who goes u,aboi focus dia,fada rejected moda rejected one tin one tin accepted".

I rarely join issue with people on social media. But I find it rude when an educated youth result to name calling and abuse instead of addressing the issue. It's such a pity one can rarely have a reasonable conversation without abuse. To me this isn't best way. We can all have intelligent conversations without insult and the earlier we learn this the better. Takia

Why must u call gej? Ur stup!d brain didn't tell u that gej government perform better than any government in nigeria other than gowon!! Note that gowon used 8yrs while gej used 6years. Had it been gej did 2nd term, he would v been the overall best!
Study and read b4 making statement

I usually find it illogical and absurd whenever anyone claimed either past government did nothing or that the present administration is doing nothing . How can someone govern for 4years and do nothing. The same illogical argument are also making by those claiming PMB has done nothing. I just don't get it. I believe it's better put that they under performed. PDP 16years in power actually under-performed especially when you compare it to the revenue at their disposal especially GEJ. Moreover PMB hasn't done much either compare to his campaign promise and expectation in 2015

My point is that it's unfair to always say a particular administration do nothing

Politicians can never disappoint just for ones. I laughed when I saw Wike behaving like an innocent person. Honestly most top politicians especially in Rivers are cult guys and killing is normal to them. None of the major guys is innocent of the killings. I hope they grow up and play politics void of killings in my beloved Rivers.

At this point, Wike should put the interest of the state and her development above personal interest. Without this, I foresee same senerio playing out in 2023.

How AAC still managed to get closed to 200k votes beat my imagination. I only heard about the guy 3days to the election. For Amaechi to even pull out this, his deserve some respect. Moreover, if not for the timely intervention of INEC, our dear Rivers would have be a shadow of itself by now. Ameachi was ready to bring any result to make Aware a winner. Rivers election is for highest rigger

Wike's re-election was the surest before the 9th of March. If anyone had prophesied that he will find it this hard I'm certain most of us would never believe. He's a fighter and INEC actually helped him to get his well deserved victory. However, he would have also learn his lesson that power comes from God. If APC have contested this election, Wike would have lost because INEC would have closed their eyes to the massive rigging and the militarisation of the whole process

Though I don't expect majority of nairaland to agree with you, but you just painted what would have happened. Rivers election is usually the best rigger takes all. The reason why INEC suspended the election in the first place was the handwriting on the wall. AAC candidate would have won most of the LGA with military support. Moreover this wouldn't have been a serious issue for INEC if it's APC. I'm certain INEC couldn't just watch and allow unknown party with unknown candidate to win just like that. Though most people might not agree but if it was APC I'm certain INEC would announce the result then whoever is aggrieve will go to tribunal.

And as you said, the other elective position would have went as described

garfield1:
If tonye or magnus had contested,they would gave easily won wike.plus apc would have at least won 2 senate seats,5 reps seats and 10 assembly seats.this is based on the performance of the party in rivers during the presidential polls and that of aac.

If you listen to INEC National commissioner this morning on channel you will conclude that's what's going to happen. I'm sure majority of us who are residents of Rivers never pray for any supplementary election. Let them just announce this already colated results and declare the winner. We are tired of the unnecessary tension. Business around INEC office is totally paralysed including banks. We need to forge ahead

Amitez:
No need wasting time and money for the rerun. Obio-Okpo result has eclipsed all registered voters in remaining LGAs

It such a shame that we found ourselves in such a mess. Both PDP and APC are responsible. It's a matter of who outsmart each other so neither APC nor PDP has the moral ground. My disappointment is more with the so called ordinary Nigerians who never benefit from either of these bunch of criminals parading themselves as politicians yet still be abusing each other in defence of these self centered politicians.

It's such a shame

Nigeria politicians can never surprise me even for a second. Very easy to predict. I can bet it that this same Dogara sooner than later will still say exactly the opposite on any judgement not in PDP's favour.
To me though our judiciary needs a systematic reform especially in the aspect of corruption. However, always castigating the judiciary isn't a way forward. Bcs politician in particular fail to realise that when they castigate judiciary whenever table turned against them it's showed that when it turned in your favor you might have also compromised them. As a nation we have practically used sentiment to destroyed the reputation of almost all our institutions

Let me cite the case of army in Rivers state election, we should all admit some of their officers might be culpable and we should condemn that rather than condemning the entire institution. Forgetting that without their presence in the state during the election, I belt it the election would have be more bloody. Also I listening to some many analyst regarding the 2019 election and surprise that most people never see a single thing INEC did or is doing right. They failed in certain areas yes but condemning them in total is unfair. We shouldn't destroy all our institutions

Did you read the write up at all before commenting. How this one concern PMB. It's well

Pekele007:
It's like Buhari and his bunch of cursed party members want to turn this country upside down and into a zoo.

You are on point. To me anyone who believes Jubril of Sudan narrative can actually believe anything including the so called result from INEC server which doesn't make any logical sense. Even if the result is really geniue hiw they hope to tender that in court as an evident still beats my imagination with the current electoral act. It's such a shame that the narrative about Jubril of Sudan even sell among the so called literate.

BafanaBafana:
When you have supporters that believe Jubril of sudan story, you can say anything. Atiku has no case. He will loose everywhere and his supporters will blame Justice Tanko Mohammed for denying him justice.
They will curse and wish Buhari death but Baba will be stronger day by day and giving them his fine boy smile.

Though the aspect of compromising the existing result isn't my concern but the fact that Wike is an expert in propaganda. Up till now I'm still waiting for the Cassette he told the whole he had to implicate the late former commissioner of police, i can't remember the guys name again toward the rerun election.

The guy knows how to play game of the mind a lot.

But on a serious note it's actually an expensive joke for Amaechi to planned to use AAC candidate to unseat Wike. That's the joke of the century. But what do I know, politicians and their antics

ukenke:
Aware is stopping the collation because INEC has compromised the original results being released. What is available now has been doctored. Stop falling for Wike s propaganda. He is very good at it.

Atiku is funny. This is becoming very interesting. Can wait for series of episode this movie will have. Electronic anything isn't admissible under our current electoral act until amended. He might have a solid case but I don't see how to prove it in court. Even this his server is like a joke to any reasonable and objective person. I don't know how he get it and who will give him certified true copy to tender in court. Though the drama will sell well at least he will give false hope to those that support politicians blindly

Honestly I'm not Wike's fan nor any of the do or die politician in Rivers either bcs to me the politics they play in Rivers is too bloody. However for thinking Wike will even loss this election to me sound like a joke. I believe Amaechi just want to show Wike small so he can feel a little heat.

But Wike has already won this election. How can AAC or so who despite my interest in politics and I'm a reside in PH never seen his face before or even know his name until 3days to election will come to beat Wike who is a master in the game. That's the highest joke.

Though I believe canal is at work against Wike but he will come out of it. My advice is that this should be resolve asap to enable normalcy fully return to Rivers. Most of us move about with extra caution and vigilant

And the irony of all these is that electoral act doesn't recognized anything like INEC server. Until the new amendment is passed. For Atiku to prove his case assuming he even had one will be nearly impossible. Most of the evidence that might help his case aren't admissible in court yet. The way forward for credible election is new amendment to electoral act to be passed

Nigeria politician get no shame. I don't blame them, most of them practically survive on government resources. We aren't go to make progress with this type of politics that lack anything in resemblance of ideology

Pls the earlier they decide and declare the result the better. We need to forge ahead. What is happening in Rivers is a pathetic situation where the big gladiators care less about the consequences of their action. And the idea of you do me I must retaliate without minding the consequence.
It's so clear, you can't rig an election where you are not popular, the outcome of election in several state validated that fact. However I will appeal to Rivers people to reject these two gladiators who basically careless about the lives of their people in as much their ego and ambitious is realized by 2023. The events in 2015 and 2019 clearly show that these people are willing to do anything to realise their selfish ambitious. I wish and hope Rivers people will be bold enough to tell these two people come 2023 that enough is enough. Politics shouldn't be a do or die. This narrative about Rivers of blood must change and this can only be achieve by the people.

God bless Rivers state

Can't you guys be civil in your comments. Must you insult anyone just to make a point. To make the matter worst I'm not certain anyone of you guys are directly benefiting from any of these politician. We can all have intelligent conversion without issue. Plssssss

sameni123:
You no get sense ,all the house of assembly results declared where Won by pdp stop saying rubbish ,is it that cooked up result ameachi and the military wrote

The guy doesn't live in PH or Rivers. From his comments you could deduced he has no idea what the atmosphere in PH is at the moment. From your comment I'm certain you live in PH

mamatwiny:
You are the lie Mohammed here. Are you blind to see that from rumola to about waterlines is blocked by army personnel and ppl have to by pass via market junction? Even the ppl you mentioned are working with fear and are alert. Most bankers now dress down to work , ppl close early for fear.

Bros/sis, read my comment very well. If you leave in Rivers you will know there is tension. I never said business is grounded. Some offices didn't open. I had business to transact with British Council in PH, they didn't open up till yesterday. Part of Aba road is blocked.

There is no way there won't be tension in a scenario we find ourselves. The only problem I have with Nigeria is that to them tension means war and that's not so. Everyone moves with extra caution. Most people working is reputable organization or multinational will undertands what I meant by tension

Fuckyoumod:
you are a liar!!! Worse than lia Mohammed, worse than the devil... A blatant liar. Rivers state is peaceful and everybody is going about their lawful businesses.

Students are going to school, civil servants are going to work, private business owners are busy, traders are buying and selling peacefully.

Guy stop misinforming people.

If you tell me you want to know the fate of the election fine, me too.

But to sell falsehood just to make a useless point for Wike

The earlier they decide the better for us leaving in Rivers. There is tension. Even some offices didn't open. I'm not sure the NDDC regional office close to INEC office has open since the suspension. The only major road in PH is partly closed. We need to forge ahead abeg

Why did you forget to include Plateau where APC is leading with over 40,000 and declared inconclusive

KwoiZabo:
Bauchi, PDP leading Inconclusive
Sokoto PDP leading too Inconclusive

Your analysis if correct has nullified the assertion that PDP wins. With that margin compared with cancelled vote, automatically, the election is inclusive in that state. In Nigeria of today, it will take a lot to defeat incumbent governor with federal might. It's so unfortunate that's the situation will find ourselves as a nation and it's such a pity.

Until our electoral act is reformed and if possible we go purely electronic, we are definitely in for long thing.

We have gone back to OBJ era in our election and it's such a shame. Imagine what's happening in Rivers where an individual just because of federal might is doing anyhow. There is apprehension everywhere in Rivers, most people aren't going to work today because of fear. It's a shame

Honestly we need to get out of this vote not count mentality. It's a narrative the politicians are selling to keep discouraging us from electing our leaders. They know if we are all set to vote then they are in trouble hence this narrative that votes won't count. I'm not saying there's no rigging, but if majority of us choose to vote instead of social media ranting, they have no option than to allow the will of the electorate.

And what saddens me most is the fact that we the youths are the ones even buying this narrative most. The will of the people is very strong especially in the democratic setting. But the old politicians who are all bereaved of ideas on how to move this country forward keep us with a mindset that our vote won't count.

Apology to all my Rivers friend, I don't see any one that's not a thug ruling rivers in the nearest future. I have lived in Rivers for over 13years now, it's so clear that no gentle man can govern that state. From Odili to Wike, it's so obvious

Though, this may sound unfair to APC but I thank God they weren't on ballot paper bcs the killings from both side would have been terrible.

In as much I know your type I choose not to attack your personality as I know better. Just said not every picture on social media is believable. If you watch a fake news coined to have come from Channel TV you might have know better. However it's your choice to consume any information on social media and it's my choice to advise we are cautious.

Pekele007:
So the Hot 6 pro watermark below the pictures were also doctored right? The phone was published in 2014 I guess. Chai!



Majority of our youths are educated illiterates aswear.... You can't even think for yourself just once.

I don't trust any picture anymore. How do we verify this picture wasn't 2015 election. This era of fake news everywhere. Channel TV showed a clip yesterday on how a fake news was circulated by using a picture that looks like Seun on Sunday politics.

One need to be very careful before digestive any pictures on social media these days

Which of the card reader? Is it same that's not recognized by our law yet? We still have a long way to go

nzeobi:
the tribunal will still sack more especially those areas where voting was done without using card reader for accreditation.
