Chukwuemeka Eze, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has refuted Governor Nyesom Wike’s assertion that he defeated Rotimi Amaechi in the Rivers election.
The victory of evil over good is always fleeting, cannot withstand the wrath of justice, and will ultimately be crushed in accordance with the law, Eze said in a statement to Wike on Monday.
Even when the procedure “fell short of standard,” the politician claimed Wike had been boasting about the declaration of his candidates as winners of the March 18 governorship and assembly elections.
Eze stated as much
“A team from the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, as well as ad hoc employees and corrupt police and other security personnel accepted bribes in dollars and backed Wike and the PDP to work against the people.”.
“Governor Wike cannot claim to have defeated Amaechi and the people of Rivers State because he has never won an election there in a favorable electoral environment. “.
According to Eze, Wike was “imposed as Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area against the plea and wishes” of the elders and natives by Amaechi and former governor Peter Odili.
He claimed that Wike was elected as the chairman of ObioAkpor by the former minister of transportation and that Wike was also elected as the chairman of local government councils in Nigeria due to the former minister’s “poor judgment.”.
According to Eze, the 2015 election changed Rivers State
“Into Rivers of blood, where hundreds of Rivers citizens gave their lives for one man’s lone ambition.”.
In the statement, it was mentioned that the Tribunal had fired Wike
“However, some men at the Supreme Court overturned and reinstated him as Governor with the aid of some powerful people in society.”.
“To prevent the APC from participating in 2019, Wike colluded with authorities in Lagos and Rivers State. And how, in good conscience, can he assert that he won an election in which his party was not permitted to run?
Three days before the election, according to Eze, the APC adopted Biokpomabo Awara of the African Action Congress, AAC, as their candidate for governor. INEC reportedly suspended the announcement of the results while Awara was leading in “over 17 out of 23 LGAs,” according to Eze.
“A strong force in Aso Rock gave the order to suspend, rewrite the results, and declare Wike the winner.
“Wike was able to return in 2019 in that way. Election rigging, NEC official and security agency corruption, intimidation, and murder were prominent features of the 2023 election. “.
