The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is concluding arrangements to head to the State Election Tribunal to reclaim its mandate, allegedly stolen by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in connivance with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the police during the governorship polls of April 11.
Rivers APC Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, disclosed this in a statement issued Friday morning in Port Harcourt and made available to NE, reassuring the people of Rivers state that the mandate which they freely gave to the party and to its governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, would soon be retrieved for the good of the future of the state.
“This brazen electoral theft by Nyesome Wike and his PDP gangsters cannot be allowed to stand. These power-drunk anti-democratic elements, in their desperation for power, were not discreet in their electoral fraud that saw the allocation of a bogus over a million votes to Chief Wike. The documents and video tapes so far assembled will surely see many Rivers INEC and PDP chieftains being thrown into jail at the end of the day,” Ikanya said.
Rivers APC declared that it has an iron-cast case against Wike and the PDP, saying that it is not surprised that Wike, who cannot win up to 30 per cent of the votes in a free and fair election in Rivers state, is now desperately running from pillar to post in a bid to prevent APC from going to the tribunal.
“We wish to appeal to our members and the entire people of Rivers State to remain calm and resolute as the party goes to the Tribunal to retrieve their stolen mandate. Our case is as clear as daylight, as even Prof. Wole Soyinka, Ambassador John Endwistle of the United States of America, the European Union Electoral Observers and other international bodies have since testified that the elections purportedly conducted in Rivers State were a sham,” Ikanaya stated.
He said that Wike’s fate had become sealed by the failure to burn the INEC Office in Port Harcourt and with it the evidence of his bare-faced electoral fraud.
According to Ikanya, “With this development, Wike will soon join the league of Sir Celestine Omehia who spent only four months as Governor of Rivers State before he was sacked by the Supreme Court in 2007. This is a case which we shall pursue to a logical conclusion not only to retrieve our stolen mandate but to ensure that the plot of sharing Rivers State Federal Allocation among the ten main key actors of PDP in the State does not materialise,” Dr. Ikanya further stated.

Why is it that these APCs' candidates does not give peace a chance? accept your defeat, if Jonathan can forfeit a whole seat of power to your APC candidate for peace to reign in the country why not emulate him instead of causing more chaos and causing more innocent lives to waste their lives or is it because Buhari who is your party member that was said that won the presidential election you want to use his influence to win a case in court, please and please we are tired of wasting more innocent blood in the land allow peace to reign and wait for another opportunity
ReplyDeleteWhat did Amechi and his APC members want to turn the country into, these are real trouble makers in the land, your people did not like the way you treated Jonathan your brother that is why they too want to treat your fuck up too by loosing River's State election
ReplyDeleteWike can never be the governor of rivers state, no matter how he tries, killing of innocent citizens of rivers state to assume power will never stand. the INEC REC should also be brought to book. #bringbackourgirls
ReplyDeleteWike!!! Amaechi is done with Uncle Jona, you are next and PEJ will follow ...GEJ part 1 concluded and rolled out, already avaliable in any video shop; Wike part 2 concluded about to be rooled avaliable before the end of August this years; PEJ Part 3 script already concluded will be rolled out soon... Wike just watch out for the lates on these. #bringbackourgirla
ReplyDeleteThis is good for our democracy. Please go ahead to the tribunal. Let's know who is saying the truth.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Great!! Great!!!. The Rivers 'election' was not only a clear case of stealing the people's mandate, but that of murders and voters intimidation. The military should be asked to explain why the deployment of heavily armed soldiers to Wike's residence on the eve of the election day. This is the typical abuse of authority characterising the Jonathan/PDP government.
ReplyDeleteTell us mallam YANY, what truly happen in KANO, KADUNA, KATSINA, YOBE, JIGAWA etc. Pls mallam MUGU tell us.
DeleteAmechi can't you learn from what happened to ken saro wiwa? Remember that history can be so dangerous when it has a way of repeat itself.You better recall your way back now,because I'm seeing a hand with a trigger coming close to your neck and stomach.
ReplyDeleteYou comment should be addressed to wike,, Guys forget it Wike is worse than Sergeant Awuse in terms of violence... If you can remember your so called history It was violence that marred Sergeant Awuse 's political career...watch out what will happen to Wike

ReplyDeleteAll these Mr Dummies abusing Amaechi and Apc. Do you reason at all? You got empty brain like Air. Was their election in Rivers state, didn't you dummies heard what power hungry Wike and his party did and you want Amaechi to keep quiet. I believe you are among the corrupt people we have in this country. Tell me, if you are attack by a robber and within you, you got the power to defend yourself, wouldn't you do everything possible to be free? Ask yourself that. Thats exactly what happened in Rivers State and if I were in Amaechi shoes, I will go length to defend my power hungry robber. I personally don't like Amaechi because of his big mouth but I tell you, in this case he is a good democratic citizen that want things done in a right way. For Nigeria to move forward, we need to change our ways and mentality. Hate what is bad and like what is good. I wish they gain victory cause is obvious they would have win.
ReplyDeleteWIKE IS A MOLE; AND AS FAR AS POLITICS IS CONCERNED, HE IS A PERSON NON-GRATA! THIS IS THE END OF THE ROAD FOR ANENI IN RIVERS!
ReplyDeleteAPC never concedes defeat. So Buhari is more popular than Jonathan in Rivers? I'm sure you will soon challenge Bayelsa too? It's as stupid as saying Jonathan won in Katsina. If APC loses future elections, they will never concede or step down. APC will end up being dictators.. mark my words.
ReplyDeleteI am just tired and sick of all these so called APC party, why can't they tell Amechi to keep quiet once and for all, i can't imagine what a hidden hell they are planning for this country
ReplyDeleteAPC just assumed Nigeria belong to them only, time will tell as everything in life has his own time, let's wait and see the end of the whole story
ReplyDeleteIf you rig me in an election, i will go to tribunal. Weak men don't fight for their right. Brave men take the battle further. Goodluck conceded defeat because Buhari out-rigged him. Dakuku did not rig, let him go to tribunal, it is better than taking up arms.
ReplyDeleteAmeachi is a smart politician, give it to him.
Why all these noise about south south presidency in Rivers? is Goodluck a Rivers man? Go to Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Delta & Edo you won't hear all these noise. Abeg na wear water touch you na him be your drinking pot.
