Governor Nyesom Wike
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has stated that the
illegal conspiracy between the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), All Progressives Congress (APC) and Police is a threat to the
nation's democracy.
Speaking on Friday when granting audience to the Inter-Party
Advisory Council (IPAC) at the Government House, Port Harcourt, Governor
Wike stated that following the use of the Police to deny the people of
Rivers East Senatorial District their mandate, the APC has made it their
official policy.
According to him: "The strategy has been adopted by the APC was
experienced in Rivers State during the rerun elections. We have to
alert all other Nigerians about this strategy.
"The alarm we have raised on the printing of fake result sheets
was correct. They used Special Anti-robbery Squad to abduct INEC
officials and smuggle in fake results ".
He called on all the political parties to be vigilant and stop the actualization of the plot of APC to rig the 2019 polls.
"They know Nigerians are tired of being deceived. That is why
they will plan to massively rig the 2019 elections. As IPAC members, you
must be vigilant. They will do everything possible, including killing
dozens of persons to remain in power. This is because the people have
rejected them, " he said.
The governor said that despite the anomaly that greeted the Rivers
East Senatorial District election, INEC has remained silent. He said
that INEC must offer an explanation on the fraud APC used the Police to
perpetrate.
Governor Wike added that all other political parties participating
in the forthcoming Anambra Governorship election must be vigilant as the
APC is planning to rig the polls.
"Democracy is under threat. We must defend it" he said.
In his remarks, the Secretary of IPAC, Chief Perry Opara said
Rivers State is working because Governor Wike is investing in
development projects.
He commended Governor Wike for carrying all political parties along
in Rivers State, urging the Federal Government to imbibe the same
pattern which will reduce tension in the country.
The 46 Political Parties of IPAC conferred on Governor Wike, "Most Opposition Friendly and Eagle of Nigeria."
“If there should be any crime that the military want to curb,
it is the police that should do it. There is no need for any Operation
Python Dance, they should go and dance in the North-East where Boko
Haram killed an Imam and others in Borno a few days ago,” he told Punch.
