\n
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has called on President<\/div>\n
\n
Muhammadu Buhari to use the Edo State Governorship election to create
\nhope in the electoral process.<\/p>\n

Governor Wike is also the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
\nNational Campaign Council for the Edo election made the appeal during a
\nLive Television Programme in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

He stated that the outcome of the election would provide hope for the
\ngeneral elections of 2023.<\/p>\n

“Let every one that loves this country ensure that the September 19,
\n2020 election is credible, free and fair.<\/p>\n

“The Police and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
\nshould show Nigerians that they can support credible elections.<\/p>\n

“INEC should ensure that result sheets are not in the hands of
\nindividuals. Security Agencies should not whisk away collation officers
\nand later bring them back with cooked results.<\/p>\n

“Complete manipulation of the electoral process causes violence. No
\npolitician will cause violence if the Police and INEC do not
\ncompromise,” he stated.<\/p>\n

Governor Wike said there would be a high turnout of voters on Saturday
\nbecause the people of Edo State are prepared to put an end to
\ngodfatherism.<\/p>\n

He stated that he carried out an independent assessment of Governor
\nGodwin Obaseki’s achievements and is quite satisfied that he would win
\nthe election convincingly.<\/p>\n

According to him, no amount of money or intimidation will make the
\npeople of the State not to vote massively for Governor Obaseki.<\/p>\n

The Governor urged the people to be vigilant and protect their votes
\nbecause enemies of the State are hovering to truncate their will.<\/p>\n

“The agenda of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is to win at all cost
\nfor us to go to the tribunal. That is why Edo people must be vigilant.<\/p>\n

“I must commend the United States and the United Kingdom for the Visa
\nban placed on election riggers in the country.<\/p>\n

“They should go ahead and publish their names so that a lot of things
\nwill change in our electoral process.<\/p>\n

“Election rigging is worse than armed robbery. So whatever sanctions
\nthat can be imposed will be highly welcomed by the PDP, ” he added.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
