In the last general elections
Governor Wike Of Rivers didn’t
deem if fit to write foreign
countries and organisations
because he belongs to the party
with the federal might then. Tides
have changed now and has the re-
run election for several legislative
seats at all levels will be carried out
on Saturday the ever speaking
Governor has pleaded for foriegn
support.

The elections are crucial for Wike
especially the assembly seats, if
Amaechi and his men clinch the
majority of the assembly seats then
the reign of Wike maybe near an
early exit.

Read the full press statement
below:

“I write on behalf of the
Government and people of Rivers
State, Nigeria to inform you
respectfully of the imminent
danger posed to the peace and
stability of Rivers State, by the
actions and provocative utterances
of the leaders of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).

“In a series of media interviews
that began with an appearance on
“Focus Nigeria” a live programme
on African Independent Television
(AIT) in Abuja, and with radio
stations in Port Harcourt, Rivers
State, Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister
for Transportation in Nigeria
continues to use language that is
both inciting and dangerously
divisive ”.

It added that Amaechi had also
publicity threatened to “flood”
every polling unit in Rivers State
with soldiers in a bid to rig the
election in favour of the APC, and
described the threat by Rotimi
Amaechi to militarize the re-run
polls as “alarmingly dangerous and
illegal”, noting that the military
had no constitutional role in the
country’s electoral process.

The petition also alerted that
“homes of key leaders of People
Democratic Party are being
routinely raided and vandalized by
Amaechi’s goons, and plans have
already been perfected to arrest all
leaders of the PDP in Rivers State
48 hours to the election”.
