The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has uncovered plots by the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to cause confusion in Rivers state and
scuttle the scheduled collation of the remaining results of the March 9
governorship election in the state, which was won by the PDP and its
candidate, Governor Nyesom Wike.
Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of the party said “The party alerts that the
APC plans to orchestrate violent disagreements and crisis at the
stakeholders meeting scheduled by INEC ahead of the collation billed for
April 2-5, 2019, so as to scuttle the exercise and stall the announcement
of Governor Wike, who is the rightful winner of the election.
“In order to achieve this ignoble plot, the APC has conspired with
certain compromised security agents to be bandying phantom security
report in Rivers state, as a decoy for the execution of their ugly plan.
“The PDP is not unaware of pressure being put on certain security heads
particularly, the Directorate of State Services (DSS), by the Minister
of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, asking that collation of results be
stopped.
“The APC should note that their plot has been exposed and that Rivers
people will never allow them to have their way. Any person pushing such
heinous machination in Rivers state will have him or herself to blame.
“The PDP therefore cautions the APC and their co-travellers to desist
from any act aimed at scuttling the scheduled collation of results,
which figures, confirming Governor Nyesom Wike’s victory, are known to
all.
