The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Saturday said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, would ask his supporters to boycott the presidential election before 11am on election day.
Wike explained that Amaechi would call for the election to
be boycotted because he could not defeat the Rainbow Coalition in Rivers State.
The minister spoke during a grand reception held in his
honour in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
According to Wike: “On election day, before 11am, Amaechi
will tell his people to boycott the election because he knows there’s no way
he’ll defeat us.
“If he wins his village, Ubima, then he has won the
election. That’s if he will win his own polling unit.
“No more battalions of soldiers to be with him, no more
battalions of police to be with him, it’s now that we the battalion of people
will come out.”
Wike also accused Amaechi of using a battalion of soldiers
to intimidate people in the state.
“All of us are witnesses to it, he was coming like he was
the Commander-in-Chief with a battalion of soldiers intimidating our people,
now he will come alone,” he added.
