Wike Accuses Buhari, Amaechi Of Interfering In 2019 Elections In Rivers

0

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has called out President Muhammadu Buhari and the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi for allegedly interfering in the 2019 governorship election in the State.

Wike made the claim on Wednesday, during the flag-off ceremony of the construction of internal roads in Igwuruta, Ikwerre local government area of the state.

This is coming barely 24 hours after Buhari said he would not allow anyone to rig the election, while receiving members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) led by Chairman and Governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, at the State House, Abuja.

Reacting to this, Wike claimed that the president used the security agencies through Rotimi Amaechi to interfere in the 2019 governorship election.

He stated that the people of the state stood against the action of the security agencies.

The governor said: “I heard Mr president said yesterday that he will not interfere (in the 2023 election ). He told the governors he will not interfere.

In the other one (2019) you interfered by sending people to come and finish us in Rivers State.

Thank you Mr President for saying you will not interfere or intimidate anybody. Which means there’s no way for your party.

Of course he interfered last time by using the army through the former minister of Transportation but the people stood up and said no this will not happen.

I thank Mr president that he wants to leave a legacy of conducting a free and fair election”.
