Former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has condemned the outcome of the Governorship and House Assembly Election in Rivers State over what he described as the crude display of desperation by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike in connivance with compromised INEC officials and Security Agents to foist on Rivers people concocted results which do not reflect the decision of the electorates.
In a statement made available to media houses in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Eze said Gov. Wike and his co-conspirators at INEC and Police succeeded in making mockery of Rivers State and her people with the scary reports of voter intimidation, coercion, disenfranchisement, ballot stuffing, assault on voters, falsification of results and many more atrocious engagements including the killing of over a dozen APC members who stood to resist gun-wielding ballot snatchers in military camouflage in Ahoada axis of the state.
He urged party faithful and Rivers Electorates to keep faith as facts and documents were being assembled to let the entire world and the Judiciary know what evil that was perpetrated in Rivers State by people who have arrogated to themselves the destiny of the State during both the presidential and gubernatorial election.
The party Chief lamented that his anger over the glaring demonstration of evil in the polity is further aggravated by the gang-up of APC leadership and undemocratic forces in Nigeria including the Presidency to silence former Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi forgetting all his sacrifices in making the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari possible and the number of Rivers State people that lost lives and limbs to make that dream come true.
Eze encouraged Amaechi not to give up on Nigeria, noting that God still rules in the affairs of men and He would justly bring judgement on all those who feel that running down others is the best way to be relevant in the politics of this country.
The APC stalwart condoled the family of the APC leader and Campaign Cordinator for Ahoada West Local Government Area, Mr. Chisom Lenard, who was murdered during the last election.
Commending the APC Governorship Candidate, Pst. Tonye Cole for his encouraging words in his broadcast after the election, Eze reiterated that with the floodgate of evidence of fraud and manipulation across the State, the sham will not stand and power will definitely return to the people.
