During the Rivers East Senatorial District Campaign Rally on Friday at Elele

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has  revealed the illegal   plot by  the  Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and INEC National Commissioner,  Mrs Amina Zakari  to swap authentic  results from polling  units with  fake results  on March 19, 2016.

Also, Governor  Wike  declared  that any attempt  by the Former  Governor  to move around polling booths  on election  will be vehemently  resisted by the people who will publicly  disgrace Amaechi  for violating the  electoral guidelines.

Speaking  during  the  grand finale of the Rivers East Senatorial District Campaign Rally  of PDP  at Elele  in Ikwerre LGA, Governor Wike  said: “All those who plan to swap  result sheets, may their souls rest in peace. Nobody  will rig in Rivers State. 

“Anybody  who thinks Amaechi  will give them result sheets to swap, should be  ready to swap their dead bodies. I have told the REC, you were here before, you can’t play  games with  me “.

The  governor  said it is his responsibility  to take steps to stop politicians  plotting to rig elections  in the  state  with the connivance  of INEC  National Commissioner,  Mrs Amina Zakari. 

He informed  that the  University of Port Harcourt Vice Chancellor was compelled  by Amaechi  and  APC  leadership  drew up  a list of  INEC  Adhoc staff dominated by  former APC  caretaker  committee  chairmen and confirmed APC  members to organise  the rerun  elections.  He announced  the  names  of  the  APC leaders on the list  of Adhoc  staff.  

He noted that he had written  a formal letter with  proofs and details  to INEC  National  Chairman,  complaining  of the issue. 

The governor  said that President  Buhari  should not  allow Amaechi  cause crisis in the state because  of  his personal  interest. 

In his remarks, National  Chairman of the PDP,  Senator Ali Modu Sheriff stated that the Rivers  State  is a PDP state where the people  are satisfied  with  the  performance  of  the  Governor. 

Deputy National Chairman of the PDP,  Uche Secondus described  Amaechi  as a confirmed thief who stole Rivers monies  which he used to finance APC National campaigns. 

Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah alleged  that  Former  Governor  , Rotimi Amaechi is the Chief sponsor of cultism in the state.
