Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has revealed the illegal plot
by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and INEC National
Commissioner, Mrs Amina Zakari to swap authentic results from polling
units with fake results on March 19, 2016.
Also, Governor Wike declared that any attempt by the Former Governor
to move around polling booths on election will be vehemently resisted
by the people who will publicly disgrace Amaechi for violating the
electoral guidelines.
Speaking during the grand finale of the Rivers East Senatorial District
Campaign Rally of PDP at Elele in Ikwerre LGA, Governor Wike said:
“All those who plan to swap result sheets, may their souls rest in peace.
Nobody will rig in Rivers State.
“Anybody who thinks Amaechi will give them result sheets to swap, should
be ready to swap their dead bodies. I have told the REC, you were here
before, you can’t play games with me “.
The governor said it is his responsibility to take steps to stop
politicians plotting to rig elections in the state with the connivance
of INEC National Commissioner, Mrs Amina Zakari.
He informed that the University of Port Harcourt Vice Chancellor was
compelled by Amaechi and APC leadership drew up a list of INEC
Adhoc staff dominated by former APC caretaker committee chairmen and
confirmed APC members to organise the rerun elections. He announced
the names of the APC leaders on the list of Adhoc staff.
He noted that he had written a formal letter with proofs and details to
INEC National Chairman, complaining of the issue.
The governor said that President Buhari should not allow Amaechi
cause crisis in the state because of his personal interest.
In his remarks, National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff
stated that the Rivers State is a PDP state where the people are
satisfied with the performance of the Governor.
Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus described Amaechi as
a confirmed thief who stole Rivers monies which he used to finance APC
National campaigns.
Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah alleged that Former Governor
, Rotimi Amaechi is the Chief sponsor of cultism in the state.
