Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that it is not the portion of Rivers people to have a sole administrator as the enemies of the state are plotting, because Rivers people overwhelmingly voted for their preferred candidate on March 9, 2019, according to a statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Mr Simeon Nwakaudu.
This is as 86 Political Parties conceded defeat to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike over the Rivers State Governorship Election during a solidarity visit to the governor at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Friday, March 22.
“It is not the portion of Rivers State to have a sole administrator. Our people voted on March 9 and Rivers votes will count”.
“We, therefore call on the former Rivers State Governor, Chief Rufus Ada George, Alabo T.O Graham Douglas , Prof D.M.J. Fubara, Chief Samson Agbaru, Rear Admiral O. Fingesi (rtd) and Group Capt J.I. Ben-Kalio who are known APC members to publicly apologise to Rivers people for this ungodly political mischief. These APC Elders should retrace their steps in the interest of Rivers State”.
They warned the security agencies against further steps to subvert the will of Rivers people.
“We are aware of the persistent plots by the security agencies to thwart the Collation and declaration processes of the Rivers State Governorship Election already won by Your Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike. We urge the relevant authorities to take immediate steps to call these security agencies to order because under no circumstances shall we allow them to manipulate the mandate of Rivers people”.
