Wike’s days as governor numbered, says Rivers APC

Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the days of Governor Nyesom Wike at the Government House, Port Harcourt “are numbered because he doesn’t have the mandate of the people to serve in that capacity”.
“Chief Wike is being sworn-in not because he won the April 11 gubernatorial election but simply because he was unjustly declared Governor-elect by the State INEC, which never hides its connivance with Rivers PDP. He does not have the legitimate mandate of the good people of Rivers State to act as their Governor,” said a statement by APC State Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya.
Ibiamu advised Wike not to waste his time planning any long-term project or even trying to change the curtains and furniture in the Government House as he has a very short time to stay there.
“We remain confident that the Election Petition Tribunal will do the needful and sack Wike accordingly in view of the materials submitted to them and in view of the immorality associated with his occupation of the Government House in view of the outcry of the people of Rivers State that he does not have their mandate to serve as their Governor.
As we wait to reclaim the mandate of the Rivers State people wickedly seized by INEC in their desperation to impose Chief Wike as the Governor of Rivers State, we wish to state that we will not allow the blood of our members spilled in order for Chief Wike to earn his present status to be in vain as we owe them and their families the duty to ensure that a God-fearing Governor in the person of Dr Dakuku Adol Peterside is duly installed in the Government House based on the mandate of the good Rivers State people.
“Chief Wike’s purported election is totally against equity, justice and the rotational stance of the elders and leaders of Rivers State that power should rotate among the upland and riverine areas of the State as it is totally wicked and out of place for the upland that has governed the State for 16 years through Dr Peter Odili and Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi to deny the riverine area of the state a shot at the Brick House. We will do everything humanly possible and within the ambit of the law to ensure that this plot to deny the riverine area their right does not see the light of the day.”
On the threat by Wike to probe the administration of Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the party said: “We wish to reiterate that the account books of the Amaechi administration are clean as the government was run transparently in the past seven years and seven months that it presided over the affairs of the state. But should Chief Wike resolve to probe the administration, the only thing wrong he may observed in Amaechi’s administration may be the contracts awarded to him (Wike) and his cronies when he was the Chief of Staff to Governor Amaechi from 2007 to 2011 that were either abandoned or badly done.”
