No Elections in Rivers Without Our Candidates, APC Threatens
The party has also
accused the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, of working with
Governor Nyesom Wike to frustrate the party in the state.
Director of Strategic
Communications in the Tonye Princewill Campaign Organisation, in a
statement, said they have taken to be fairly relisted on the ballot
papers, including the contempt of court proceedings served on INEC.
He vowed if they continue to treat APC in Rivers State with disdain, the election will still not hold.
“Even though the
postponement of the elections did not come to me as a total surprise, I
was still expecting the INEC chairman to stubbornly push on and try to
force through the elections regardless. I still see disaster come
Saturday.
“Unless we are on the
ballot, the election won’t be smooth anywhere. The God of Rivers State
wants justice and He will get it. We have not even had so much as an
explanation from INEC.”
He said the INEC
chairman who was once a subordinate to Wike when the governor was
supervising Minister of Education under former President Goodluck
Jonathan may have skeletons in his TETFUND years that Wike can expose.
“I had continued to
maintain that Wike had since penetrated the judiciary, our security
agencies and civil society with our money.
“Now it appears that the electoral umpire too is no longer immune to the Wike virus too.
“All dealing with him do need to be made aware, your temporary high will eventually be replaced by very permanent lows.
“I’ve seen people
vomiting ill-gotten wealth to then return it to the treasury. I’ve seen
men and women lose their jobs for Wike.
“It’s not a very pleasant sight. We have two appeal court orders and one Supreme Court judgement in our favour.
“But if you listen to the Wike paid media, you will think that we lost.”
