Wike Cries Out Over Rivers State Election Results

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has claimed that the enemies of the state were struggling to stop the collation and declaration of the governorship election in the State.

According to Wike, the police was now inviting Electoral and Collation Officers to intimidate them over collated results in the governorship election.

Wike spoke during a solidarity visit to his office at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Wednesday, by the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus and other members of the party’s National Working Committee.

Wike said, “The Police is trying to intimidate Collation and Electoral Officers by inviting them for one offence or the other so as to impinge on the Collation Process.

“Imagine where the police is inviting the entire Returning Officers, the entire electoral Officers and Entire Electoral Officers because allegations have been made against the INEC officials. This is just to let the entire world see what we are talking about “.

The Governor said that the enemies of the state have continued to roll out strategies to destroy the governorship election collation process.

“They go by this strategy, if it fails, they go by the other strategy. They brought the Army, it failed. They have gone to the court and now they want to use the police.”

Governor Wike said that the good people of Rivers State will overcome all the challenges thrown at the state by the system.

“Like I said, this victory will be the best. It will be the sweetest amongst all the states. That is what I see coming. There is no election that will be held in this state and another party will win.

“Not to talk about a party that is not on ground. They have failed and that is the truth of the matter”, he said.

Governor Wike said the political situation in Rivers State has exposed the negative aspects of the system.

“In the end, PDP will emerge victorious in this State. It is a victory that can be delayed, but not denied.

“This morning, the other political party went to court to stop Collation. As God will have it, the court did not grant them their request.

“You see how funny it is. The candidate of AAC said he won the election. The same candidate has gone to court to stop Collation and seek for the cancellation of an election, he claimed that he won”, he said.
