Governor Nyesom Wike has accused President Muhammadu Buhari and a former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, of attempting to interfere in the 2019 elections but the people of Rivers State resisted the alleged attempt.

Wike stated this on Wednesday in the Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state when he flagged off the Igwuruta Internal Roads project.

According to the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Nigerians will be surprised at the outcome of the 2023 elections if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ensures the general elections are free and fair.

He said, “My problem is INEC. I don’t know whether they will do what they said they will do because they are making promises now, I don’t know whether they will keep to it. If INEC will keep the promises that Nigerians will get a better election, I will be so happy, everybody will see with their eyes. Abuja does not vote, it is the people here that vote.”

Channels Television had reported on Tuesday that Buhari promised not to allow intimidations of any sort, whether materially, morally or physically during the 2023 elections.

The President spoke when he received some Governors of the All Progressives Congress, led by Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu, at the State House.

Commenting on the statement credited to the President by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, Wike thanked Buhari for promising not to interfere in the next elections.

The governor said, “When Mr President said yesterday (Tuesday) that he will not interfere, he told the governors he will not interfere, he will not intimidate, So, I ask; the other ones you interfered? You interfered by sending security people to come and finish us in Rivers State. Thank you, Mr. President for saying that you won’t interfere which means your party (APC), no way.

“I thank Mr President for coming out and telling his governors he won’t interfere because of course he interfered last time by using the Army, through the former minister of transportation (Amaechi) but the people stood up by saying this will not happen.

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

That’s how Nigerians in their numbers will resist any rigging in 2023 to elect Peter Obi

Just trying to make himself relevant by all means. Even after spending all his time and wealth for PDP, Atiku still defeat him may be Buhari and Ameachi caused that too.
