Governor Nyesom Wike
of Rivers State has demanded that the Federal Government listens to
him because the money that keeps Nigeria “afloat” comes from the
State.
Wike made the
remark, during a campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at
Okehi, headquarters of Etche Local Government Area of the state,
ahead of the re-run election for Etche/Omuma federal constituency and
Etche state constituency seats.
The governor also
lashed out at the Police over their indictment by the report of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He noted that in a
fair and just clime, those indicted by the report of INEC would have
been severely dealt with in accordance with the law.
According to Wike,
“If we were in a civilised country with the right leadership, the
persons mentioned in the report would have resigned from their
positions. They should bury their heads in shame.
“They are plotting
how to kill us, but God is exposing them. It is only God that has the
final say.”
“The money that is
keeping Nigeria afloat is from Rivers State. Therefore, Nigeria must
listen to Rivers State. The voices of our people must be heard,” he
said.
Urging the nation’s
electoral umpire and security agencies to ensure a free and fair
re-run election in the area on Saturday, Wike also called on
electorates to vote enmasse for the PDP
