We’ll Resist INEC’s Plot To Postpone Rivers Elections -Wike …PDP Alleges APC’s Move To Truncate Polls

Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has declared that the plot by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone Rivers State 2019 general elections to allow the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepare, will be resisted.
Addressing the Rivers State PDP campaign rally last Saturday in Okehi, Governor Wike said that INEC is working in liaison with the APC to illegally postpone Rivers elections and create room for manipulation.
Governor Wike said that two years ago in Ondo State, INEC established the precedent that no election would be postponed on the account of intra-party crisis.
”We know all the tricks of INEC. INEC is a fraudulent institution that lacks credibility. Because of Rivers State, INEC will sink. As the election is approaching, INEC is trying to give hope to APC in Rivers State. Remember that INEC is a member of the APC. It is number three on the APC official register.
”Two years ago, PDP had a problem in Ondo State. Three days to the election, Court of Appeal gave jugdment and PDP requested for postponement, but INEC bluntly refused to grant that request .
”Now APC has a problem and INEC is claiming they will postpone Rivers elections to give APC opportunity to prepare. I am warning INEC not to try that rubbish in Rivers State “.
The governor said that the INEC Commissioner who is circulating the negative propaganda should seek God’s forgiveness or face divine consequences.
He reminded Nigerians that Former Inspector General of Police , Ibrahim Idris was forced out of the police because of the evil plans he had for Rivers State.
”Anybody plotting against Rivers State will not survive”, he said.
Speaking on the forthcoming elections, Governor Wike urged the people of Etche to vote for Atiku Abubakar and other PDP candidates on 16th February and 2nd March, 2019. He said a vote for Atiku Abubakar will lead to the revival of the national economy, which will enhance employment.
The governor charged the Chairman of Etche Local Government Area to mobilise the people of the area to collect their voters cards for the forthcoming elections.
On the development of Etche, Governor Wike said when re-elected, he will commence the construction of a major road, linking key communities in the area . He added that he will also complete the Sports Academy in the area.
Also speaking at the PDP Campaign Rally, National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus said that Governor Wike deserves a second term because of his outstanding projects delivery.
He wondered why the APC Federal Government continues to plot against the Rivers State Governor when they should shower praises on him for good governance.
The PDP National Chairman warned that any attempt to rig the forthcoming elections will lead to crisis.
”If they want to cause civil war, let them not obey rules and court order. I believe our security agencies are well trained, only a few of them dance to the tune of the APC”, he said.
Speaking further, Secondus said that President Muhammadu Buhari runs the most corrupt administration in the history of the country.
”The APC leadership is jittery, that is why they want to frame Atiku Abubakar. When Buhari was the Minister of Petroleum, who stole N2.8billion? “ he said.
The PDP National Chairman said that the Former Rivers State Governor , Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was indicted, but Buhari has refused to refer him to EFCC for prosecution
Meanwhile, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was planning to unleash mayhem and get elections stalemated or postponed in some strategic states of the federation.
The party warned President Muhammadu Buhari and his party of the implication of such action, insisting that any move to undermine the resolve of the people, might come with very dire consequences.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the spokesman of PDP and the Director of Media and Publicity of the party presidential campaign organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan said that particularly reference are the activities of APC’s governorship candidate in Taraba State, Sani Abubakar Danladi, who he said has now resorted to violence having realized that there is absolutely no hope for him and his party in the March 2, 2019 governorship election.
He said, “It is an incontrovertible fact, known to all, that Taraba State is a long established stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and that Governor Darius Ishaku has the undiluted backing of overwhelming majority of the electorate across the state, due to his sterling performance in office.
“Being exasperated and frustrated by the popularity of the PDP and Gov. Ishaku, the APC, which is stuck with the most unpopular candidate in the election, is bent at triggering confusion and bloodletting so as to ambush and truncate the electoral process in the state, not minding the human and material damage such portends.
