Wike Assures On PDP’s Victory

The Rivers State Government has restated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will continue to win all elections in Rivers State because of the acceptance of the party by the people even as it dismissed claims by the. All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate for Rivers East Senatorial District Senator Magnus Ngei Abe that he awarded contract to the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC),Elder Aniedi Ikoiwak when he was supervising Minister of Education.
Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike who stated this last Wednesday, noted that Senator Abe was trying to blackmail the Resident Electoral Commissioner because he knew that he would lose the forthcoming  election on July 30.
Governor Wike stated that Senator Abe who is contesting for the Senatorial election had failed in his attempt to lobby INEC to do his bidding, stressing that no amount of blackmail  would stop the PDP from winning all the seats in the National Assembly.
According to him,’’I heard that Abe said I awarded the REC a contract while I was a minister, He Abe did not know this before now when we had the rerun in March 19, He thought the INEC boss would have played his game for him, so when the REC refused, he resorted to black mail him’’.
“It is very unfortunate that he does not know the process of awarding contracts. I did not award contract when I was the minister of Education’’, he said.
