Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has alleged that
the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
handed over original copies of result sheets to the Minister of Transportation,
Chibuike Amaechi, for the planned rigging of the December 10 rerun elections.
Wike made allegation yesterday while flagging off the construction of the
Ulakwo II-Afara–Nihi in Etche Local Government Area of the state. Wike stated
that Amaechi made the disclosure on Tuesday in Abuja during a meeting with the
leaders of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The
governor said he was possession of the proceedings of the Abuja “illegal
meeting” of the APC at Abuja.Wike stated that Amaechi assured the state APC
leaders at the Abuja meeting that the original result sheets supplied by INEC
would be used for the December 10 rerun elections to facilitate victory for;
unpopular APC candidates. He said: “While we are working for the people of
Rivers State to convince them to vote for us, the APC is busy working with INEC
to rig the rerun elections. “Amaechi told them at the illegal meeting that
(Senator Ali Modu) Sheriff is working for them (APC) and that they have
finished PDP. Sheriff cannot finish PDP,hecanonlyfinishhimself.“On December 10,
follow your results bumper to bumper. Don’t allow anyone to swap results. I
urge the Etche people to follow their results.” The governor disclosed that the
state APC members who were arrested printing fake result sheets for INEC were
transferred to Zone 6 Police Command headquarters in Calabar where arrangements
had been concluded to take them to Abuja for the Director of Public Prosecution
at the Federal Ministry of Justice to formally release them in line with the
request of APC. He assured the people of Etche Local Government Area that he
would stand with them to.” Source:
