Protect Your Votes, Wike Tells Nigerians …As Abua/Odual Declares Support For Gov’s 2nd Term
The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has declared that Nigerians are under obligation to protect their votes to stop the desperate APC-led Federal Government from rigging the 2019 general elections.
Wike said that the APC-led Federal Government was now in a panic mood and was working with security agencies and INEC to rig.
He spoke during the Abua/Odual Local Government Area PDP Campaign Rally at County State School, Abua Central, yesterday.
“APC are afraid because they know that Atiku Abubakar will win fair and square. Therefore, they are planning to use security agencies and INEC to rig. It will not work.
“The only way to ensure that Atiku Abubakar and all PDP candidates emerge victorious is to protect all votes from the polling units to the collation centres”.
He said due to the national rejection of the APC, the party was plotting to cause crisis in order to manipulate the electoral system.
He said: “All they are doing is to cause crisis because they are not popular. We want free and fair elections.
“In these elections, there will be no room for manipulation. If anyone hits you, hit back. Follow them bumper to bumper. APC is desperate, but we will not allow them”.
Wike assured the people that he will flag off a key road project in the area once the people overwhelmingly vote for Atiku Abubakar and other PDP candidates.
He expressed happiness that the state government’s investments in peace and security have yielded results in Abua/Odual Local Government Area.

The governor said that Uwom will remain relevant in the state’s political terrain.
The Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah said the flag-bearers of PDP in the area have the capacity to continue the develop process.
Obuah presented flags to the PDP candidate for Rivers West Senatorial District, Mrs Betty Apiafi, Abua/Odual/Ahoada East Federal Constituency PDP candidate, Solomon Bob and Abua/Odual State Constituency PDP candidate, Solomon Kirife.
