“If he (Rotimi Amaechi) dares comes to anybody’s polling booth and you see him, beat him thoroughly. I will show him that I am the Governor of Rivers State. I challenge him to move around.”
These were the words of Governor Nyeson Wike of Rivers state as the state get set to go into the rerun legislative elections on Saturday this week.
At the grand finale of the PDP campaign rally held at Ikwerre Local government area, Wike alleged that the party had uncovered a plan by the APC to “swap original election result sheets on the voting day”.
Governor Wike, who flipped a list purported to be the list of INEC Returning Officers stressed that “INEC has recruited APC members as adhoc staff.”
“We know their plans. They have arranged how to swap original results on that day. They want to do it Amina Zakari. Tell them we have passed that stage. Is this how Nigeria wants to change? We heard Amaechi will be moving from polling booth to polling booth. Let him try it.
This was even as Amaechi insisted that he would go round during the Election Day and that Wike cannot do anything to stop him.
At rally held in Etche Local government area, Amaechi vowed to dare Wike on Election Day, adding that he will move around to show Wike that he is more powerful than him.
According to Amaechi, it is important to stop the Governor from intimidating the people of the state. [myad]
