The director general of Buhari campaign organization and Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, has threatened mass action if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) decides today to shift this month’s election.
Amaechi, who said monumental change is about to happen in Nigeria because the vast majority of Nigerians yearn for it, insisted that the presidential election must hold on February 14 because Nigerians are charged and poised to vote on that day for an inevitable change.
He stated this during the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship campaign rally at Isiokpo, the headquarters of his Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Addressing thousands of APC supporters who had converged for the rally, the governor charged his kinsmen and the people of the State to vote against the president and the Peoples Democratic Party because they are adverse to the rule of law and good governance.
“If PDP say there are strong, we are ready for election, let them come out. APC has said to PDP, let us wrestle; they are running away.
“If they try the postponement, we Nigerians will match out on the streets. Nigerians are charged and poised to vote on February 14,” he said.
Amaechi, who observed the INEC would be meeting today with critical stakeholders to deliberate on the forthcoming elections, insisted that whether the Federal Government likes it or not, the presidential election must hold on Saturday.
According to him, Nigerians are yearning for freedom from the yoke inflicted on them by the PDP administration, which is endemically corrupt.
He told the teeming audience that the APC presidential candidate remains gravely concerned about the incessant attacks on the party’s faithful in the state and has assured them that he would ensure the protection of life and property if he wins the February 14 presidential election.

We must go to the polls in February. Jonathan must go.
ReplyDeletePDP does not have any good intentions in seeking postponement of polls. Rather than postpone the elections, the armed forces should be used to protect the polls from Boko Haram. If citizens have had a chance to pick up their PVCs and they failed to, or chose not to, this is no reason to postpone elections. The world does not take Nigeria seriously because of things like this.

ReplyDeleteIN MY OPINION, THAT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY! BUT IF MAJORITY DECIDES OTHERWISE, SO BE IT! NIGERIANS ARE ANXIOUS TO VOTE OUT pdp AND pdp IS EMPLOYING DELAY TACTICS TO DEMORALIZE US BUT WE REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED! pdp MUST GO ANY DAY, ANY TIME THEY ARE SHIFTING IT TO, PERIOD!
ReplyDeleteFELLOW NIGERIANS, SECURE AND SAFE-GUARD YOUR PVCs AND COME OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS TO VOTE OUT GEJ AND HIS pdp DECIDES TO FIX IT!
BUHARI HAS GONE!!!!!! he will be disqualified.
ReplyDeletemumu ameachi your cup will soon full. how many of your children will be on the street for the protest? you are obviously an agent of violence. even buhari is not complaining openly due to the shift but you a common middleman. if God says Buhari will win it shall be so no matter the delay but why your arrogancy always ameachi?
ReplyDeleteAmaechi should just go ahead and protest, not just a threat. Are you the owner of this country? It belongs to all of us. Why should election be held when I have not seen my PVC? .Is it because you and your party have hoarded our PVCs that you want the election to go ahead so that you can rigged?. Let me remind you that in this country it is one man, one vote. Since you are on the ground, you should not be afraid of shift on election date or are you now jittery that your rigging plan shall fail?. You are promising change yet you want to disenfranchised millions of Nigerians. I can now confirmed that APC is not after the wellbeing of Nigerians but just to get power.
ReplyDeletethe majority decision to postpone the election again APC wish shows that the majority will also vote for GEJ
