PORT HARCOURT: GOVERNOR
Nyesom Wike on Tuesday lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for distancing himself
from the re-run elections in the state, saying he did not interfere with the
exercise.
The governor who accused
the Minister of Transportation, Mr Chibuike Amaechi of allegedly plotting to
rig the elections, said the former governor came into the state noisily and
left quietly after results showed he could not deliver his candidates.
Wike spoke in Government House, Port Harcourt while addressing his party faithfuls.
The governor said the will of the people was stronger than any military and police might, adding that some Abuja politicians only came to intimidate the state with the name of Mr President who maintained neutrality all through the rerun elections.
“Amaechi plot to rig the
rerun elections was for him to rubbish the Supreme Court Judgement. He came
back to the state noisily, but left quietly and shamefully.
“No Army is stronger than
the people. No police is stronger than our people. How many times will they
cancel elections for the APC. Amaechi is not on ground in Rivers State “.
“Those who were
overzealous during the rerun elections did so without the knowledge of the
president. “
