Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has condemned an arrest of some PDP members in Rivers State, alleging that the arrest was stage-managed and unlawful, especially because it is coming just ahead of the Governorship and State Assembly elections.
” We want to warn that such biased, politically-induced arrests and malicious jailing of PDP leaders only serve to heat up the already volatile political atmosphere with heightened tensions and dissensions, which could cause serious problems to the peaceful conduct of the Governorship and House of Assembly elections in the State.
He said: “In a democracy, our vote is our power and no situation or circumstance should be potent enough to scare or prevent us from coming out on the 9th of March 2019 to vote for the candidates and party of our choice. “As important as these elections are because they are about our progress and our future as a State and as a people; still they do not call for violence, disruptions, snatching of election materials, harassment of electoral officers or rigging of any sort by any person, authority or agency”.
Sorry Mr governor. Who ever is considered to be a threat to peaceful election should be arrested irrespective of the party. The funny thing is that PDP played the same card in 2015 and today is complaining. What goes around comes around.
Since they have been arrested we haven't heard any case of killings in rivers state... So who are the bad people now?
No matters what the president and the minister of transport Ameachi want they can't take Rivers State,Rivers State is not for sale. Rivers state is the center for PDP
Thuggnor!
My governor, you must win. We need you beyond 2023. Be of good cheer, you are a winner. The prayers of the saints is with you.
This man has been yammering forever. Which one is unlawful? Using militants & cultists by both sides must be stopped, Abeg.
If any death is recorded in Rivers like in the Presidential election, pls Mr President declare a state of emergency in Rivers. Nigerians and the international community are tired of the killings in Rivers at any election even class captain election.
They think they will be in power forever
