“What do you call him, ‘cry cry governor.’ He is a governor with one agenda, namely ‘Amaechi.’ He sleeps and wakes and dreams of Amaechi. He has no adviser. He sees me in his dreams. You know I’m a Catholic, there are powers they gave to us to fly at night to go and meet them.”
“Let him stop crying because it’s too early. When a man starts crying, it means he is afraid. Did I cry about President Goodluck Jonathan? I didn’t cry. I came out to fight for my right. But this man is crying because of ordinary one police CSP every day.”
The Minister, who spoke when he met with members of the APC in Eleme Kingdom in Rivers State, said that during his administration as Governor, the then President Goodluck Jonathan molested and harassed him with soldiers and police, yet he did not complain even as he said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not ready to rig elections in the state and that President Buhari will never allow such.
He asked the electorate in the state to fight for their right, saying: “I fought for my right (during the Jonathan’s administration) when the President was molesting and harassing me, I got up, mobilized Rivers People and we fought for our right.
“We would not have won Rivers governorship because they rigged everywhere, wrote results and brought army and police to chase us away.
“Now, there will be voting and they are shouting and crying ‘police o, army o; INEC o just because they are scared of what they did to us (APC). President Buhari will not allow that to happen. He will not allow any policeman to stop anyone from voting.
“That person is there shouting ‘INEC, police’ while he was inside INEC building the day of election and they were writing results and we didn’t complain. Now he is shouting ‘INEC o, police o’ because he is afraid.
“But we’ll follow the law; we shall vote on that day and get our people to vote for us. If we win, we thank God. If he wins, we thank God. It will be free and fair.” [myad]
