Governor Wike , reacting to the mass shootings by the Nigerian Army and the Police in Khana, Gokana, Akuku-Toru and Etche Local Government Areas on Election Day , Governor Wike said that the Security Agencies were deployed to the State to manipulate the result of the polls.

He said that true to the claim by the APC Governors and leaders that they will use Federal Might against the Rivers people, the military have been used to rig rerun elections in parts of the State .

The governor said that in Khana Local Government Area , election Materials for the entire Local Government Area were hijacked by the Nigerian Army and SARS personnel .

He added that in Gokana Local Government Area , soldiers hijacked election materials for Wards 2 and 3 in Bodo City where the military also killed two persons in the process of fleeing with the materials.

Governor Wike said that out of the 19 wards of Etche Local Government Area , soldiers and SARS personnel hijacked election materials for 4 wards.

He informed that One Mr Charles Anyanwu , Etche APC Chieftain has been arrested with two AK47. He noted that the security agencies may release him .

The governor noted that the unfortunate onslaught by the military and SARS personnel started in the night of Friday , when the Minister of Transportation , Rotimi Amaechi backed by a battalion of soldiers and over 20 SARS personnel attempted to hijack materials from the Isiokpo INEC headquarters , but was resisted by youths.

“In all my political career, I have never experienced this kind of invasion by security agencies . What causes violence is when you give certain persons undue advantage .

“Be assured that we are resisting it, it may take our lives, but we will resist to the last . That is what is expected , when you are fighting for freedom. You must make sacrifices.

“It is unfortunate that we are congratulating the opposition for winning in Ghana, but here the military are directly involved in rigging and hijacking materials . ”

What goes around comes around

Wike, thugs guns blood

This is no where near the atrocities of 2015 election that produced the present istration in RS. Not to say I electoral violence. Our politicians need to tone down their approach to election. When you send people to resist perceived rigging, you have indirectly sent them on a suicide mission. It's a shame that the re-run still experienced loss of lives.

Cooked propaganda... wike iz a mad man!!!


Wetyn concern me sef...Re yu Interested ? its fully free

You Should Be Grateful. Amaechi Was Banned From Entering Government House. That Is What You Sow You Shall Ripe

Yes o wike. No devil or demon incarnate either in ubima or the Villa can conquer the good people of Rivers State.

Wike should shut his putrid mouth. The security agents only curtailed his thugs he unleashed. Kudos to them.

11 Governors leave der states to come to rivers state over 3 senatorial reruns...Ayam so ashamed of this country. Amaechi saying if they shoot you, shoot them back. With which gun?From where?

Oga Wike, it is too early to wail. APC is only using the same tricks they learn from Rivers PDP in 2015. You brought the entire federal might to defeat Amaechi in 2015, they are doing the same to you now as parade don change gear. Suck it up quietly and stop whining.

“Be assured that we are resisting it, it may take our lives, but we will resist to the last . That is what is expected , when you are fighting for freedom. You must make sacrifices.

The emboldened caught my attention! Please, who and who are those that are to sacrifice their lives? The children of the elite or those jobless and senseless young masses?

has wike forgotten how 2015 and March 2016 was marred with violence and mass irregularities. a corper that headed a unit in ikwerre lga was given 50k for a bundle of ballot paper after being threatened with death by the pdp thugs.

Gov wikeeeeeeee. Dis was exactly what u and mama peace did to install u.

Let me remind u dat if not for d federal might you wouldn't have defeated dakuku peterside.

Moral lessons your crocodile tears won't help u because u are a direct beneficiary of #whatsoever a man soweth so he reapth. So continue d crying party.

Nice comment Bros. I could not have done better.

The same anarchy we saw in 2015 and heaven did not fall. Rather, the supreme court gave nigerians the license to use violet to win an election.

Wike what goes around comes around, I could recalled vividly on how 2015 general elections were rigged by you and other PDP in Rivers State with the of security apparatus, here you are today lamenting like a baby, you're reaping what you sowed... Karma is truly a bit.ch!

Apc is from hell,

Wike, where are your drones?
Drones ko, drums ni

Exactly Wike has suddenly become pastor preaching freedom. Can he allow his sons to be part of the sacrifices he is aiming?

B

APC want to take over Rivers State by all means and i ask. "is it by force"? Isn't it obvious that the people want PDP and are comfortable with it

Unfortunately I don't know how to import meme here lwkm . eeeh kwa..in all my years as a politician
What goes around comes around

All those abusing Wike know nothing about Rivers politics. I strongly believe they are not from Rivers State.
Wike is a grassroot politician. He needs no military to win election in Rivers State. He is so popular that people are willing to go all out to give him .
If you think he rigged 2015 with the military why is it becoming difficult for Amaechi to do so effortlessly? Amaechi tried the first one he could not succeed. Second time same thing and this is the third time. Amaechi has always fan the ember of violence. He is well known.
No doubt Amaechi is a very popular politician and commands respect outside Rivers State. But in Rivers State anybody can win Amaechi in any political contest. He is bitterly hated along with anything he represents.
