They used<br \/>\nthe army, police, SSS and militants, seized result sheets and hijacked<br \/>\nballot boxes. They also arrested many people all to favour PDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut God had a different plan. Despite the intimidation and stuffing<br \/>\nof ballot boxes, God said it was not time for Goodluck Jonathan to<br \/>\ncontinue in office. God said he wanted Buhari, can any of us challenge<br \/>\nGod?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter that election, the spirit of Commander-in-Chief changed.<br \/>\nEverybody now looks forward to a new Commander-in-Chief, a new person<br \/>\nwho will command the Army, Navy, Air force, SSS and Police. If anybody<br \/>\ntoday calls the Army and gives instructions to intimidate innocent<br \/>\npeople, there are chances that they will not obey because if they obey,<br \/>\nin two months time, they will answer questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf anybody calls the police now to arrest you unjustly, the police<br \/>\nwill not obey because they know that there will be consequences in two<br \/>\nmonths. This is so because we have a new president who will protect<br \/>\nevery Nigerian. So be rest assured that nobody can harass or intimidate<br \/>\nyou again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore the first assurance I want to give you today is that for<br \/>\nthe election of Saturday 11 April, there will be adequate security,<br \/>\nnobody can harass you. There will be enough soldiers, SSS and police<br \/>\nprotecting you so that you can cast your votes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Dr. Dakuku Peterside, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Rivers State has assured every adult of voting age of maximum protection during the April 11 gubernatorial&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
