\nstakeholders in the March 19<\/span><\/span> Rivers State rerun elections especially his
\naccusations of partiality against Mrs. Amina Zakari, a National INEC
\nCommissioner and the Nigerian Army.<\/p>\n
\nsaid it finds the accusation by the governor that Mrs. Zakari is on a
\nmission to swap elections results with fake ones as outlandish and coming
\nfrom a convoluted, polluted and troubled mind that lays claim to being a
\nmaster of election rigging.<\/p>\n
\nexcellent record of supervising some of the relatively best elections by
\nINEC in the past and no amount of frustration from politicians with fast
\ndeclining fortunes and zero moral reputation like Nyesom Wike can tarnish
\nher record or demoralise her spirit in conducting free, fair and credible
\nrerun elections in Rivers State come March 19<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n
\nthe APC, \u201cseems to be a corollary to his earlier repeated death threats to
\nINEC personnel when he advised them to write their will before coming to
\nconduct the rerun elections in Rivers State. Therefore, his present
\nvituperation appears to be the beginning of implementing his earlier
\nthreat. Wike had this to say yesterday: \u201cAll those who plan to swap result
\nsheets, may their souls rest in peace. Nobody will rig in Rivers State.\u201d
\nHe did not say that the law will take care of such violators of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nelectoral malpractices, said \u201cour party fails to understand whether it is
\nwithin the powers of Gov. Wike to apprehend, try and kill suspected
\nviolators of the law. What is clear from Wike\u2019s threats is that killings
\nhave become his past time and that he can chose to visit death on anyone.
\nAnother glaring point from his utterances is that he is unwittingly
\nexposing how he rigged elections in the past especially the 2015
\nelections. As a result, rigging has become entrenched on his psyche and
\nthe eternal fear of rigging throws him into fits of nightmare every now
\nand then.\u201d<\/p>\n
\ntaken due notice of the media war Gov. Nyesom Wike has launched directly
\nand sometimes through paid agents against it just to stampede and
\ndemoralise the army from ensuring that criminality is checked in Rivers
\nState. Rather than commend and support the Army for providing support to
\nthe Police who appear overwhelmed by the spate of violence by the
\ngovernor\u2019s supporters, Gov. Wike has decided to orchestrate a campaign of
\ncalumny and blackmail against members of the military who put their lives
\non the line to safeguard the citizenry and make Rivers State safe.<\/p>\n
\nrecklessly insults and assaults the Nigerian Army and sometimes
\nthreatening them.<\/p>\n
\nabout confronting the army on election day and forcing himself into INEC
\noffice, it might be needful for him to WRITE HIS WILL because the Army
\ndoes not take prisoners very often.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
