Wike – APC Lawmakers Have Planned Coup, They Know Consequences

The rejection of electronic transmission of election results by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led National Assembly, according to Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, is tantamount to a coup against Nigerians.

Wike made this remark at the Government House in Port Harcourt during the official presentation of the nomination letter for the ‘2020 Governor of the Year Award’, which was delivered to him by the management of the Leadership Media Group.

According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to convince APC lawmakers to support the inclusion of electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act was proof of a plot to rig the future elections.

“Those who voted against e-transmission of results should be ashamed of themselves. They never mean well for this country.

“If you are a member of the National Assembly and you voted against electronic transmission of results, your children should call you and say ‘daddy, are you well?’

“It is a coup against the people, and when you plot a coup, you know the consequences of plotting a coup. National Assembly members have plotted a coup against Nigerians and Nigerians should hold them responsible. All they are planning is to rig the election because they know Nigerians have abandoned them,” Wike said.
