The
feud between the Rivers State governor, Wike, and his predecessor,
Rotimi Amaechi, gets tougher as both men throw taunts at each other in
public.
Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi
The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi and the Governor of
Rivers State, Nyesom Wike continued their mudslinging ahead of the
re-run legislative elections this Saturday.
At the grand finale of the PDP campaign rally held at Ikwerre Local
government area, Wike alleged that the party had uncovered an alleged
plan by the APC to “swap original election result sheets on the voting day”.
Governor Wike, who flipped a list purported to be the list of INEC Returning Officers stressed that “INEC has recruited APC members as adhoc staff.”
The Rivers state Governor at the rally charged voters to beat-up
the Minister of Transport if they see him driving around on election
day.
Wike also stated that all the alleged plans of the APC will be resisted.
In his words, “We know their plans. They have arranged how to
swap original results on that day. They want to do it Amina Zakari. Tell
them we have passed that stage. Is this how Nigeria wants to change? We
heard Amaechi will be moving from polling booth to polling booth. Let
him try it. I will show him that I am the Governor of Rivers State. I
challenge him to move around. If he dares come to anybody’s polling
booth and you see him, beat him thoroughly.”
In a swift reaction, the Minister of Transport at another rally at
Etche Local government area vowed to dare Wike on election day.
Amaechi said he will move around to show Wike that he was more
powerful than him, adding that it was important to stop the Governor
from intimidating the people of the state.
