Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has alleged that some
political forces were already plotting to hijack the state during the 2023
elections.
But the Governor vowed that the State would never be
hijacked. Wike disclosed this at the funeral service for a PDP chieftain, Dr.
Ferry Gberegbe, the Party’s, agent in Khana Local Government area, who was
allegedly killed during the 2019 governorship election by FSARS operatives at
the Bori collation centre.
Wike said, “He (Gberegbe) did not die because of sickness;
he did not die because he was doing something illegal. He died in defence of
our votes. The only crime he committed was to defend our votes.
‘’It is only in this part of the country that you defend
your votes and they say that you have committed an offence. Our friend and
brother is gone, but he paid the price for democracy to survive in Nigeria.
‘’He paid for democracy to survive in Rivers State. As for
those of us who have that spirit, he has laid the foundation for the defence of
democracy.
“I heard someone say two days ago, somebody in China told
somebody in Port Harcourt that what happened in Imo State, that is what they
will do in 2023.
“They said they will write results and the court will accept
the results. I said Rivers State is a different state. If you write results,
you face the consequences. I am not worried because these people are always
boasting.
“In 2015, they said nobody would be governor; somebody
became governor. In 2019, we will see what will happen and you will not even
see electoral material, but today, we are governors.
‘’Now, to give their people hope, they are talking of 2023.
As a result of this young man, they will not see the Government House in 2023.”
