Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers
State, has said he would never ask people of the state to rig election in his
favour.
Speaking during a Thanksgiving
service organised by the state Police Command in Port Harcourt, the state
capital on Sunday, Wike said people of the state will vote for him due to the
projects carried out by his government in 2019.
Wike stated that he would
continue to deepen his relationship with the people of the state by ensuring
that they get good governance.
He said: “I won’t tell you to rig
elections for me, because I know that my projects will count. I am doing
projects across the state because I know that the people are waiting for you
(police). When you want to rig, the only security I will have will be the
people.
“I have projects spread
everywhere. That is the sacrifice we have made. I am monitoring and inspecting
projects everyday, because I will continue to build my friendship with the
people.
“Whether you are wearing black or
t-shirt, Rivers people will be there. Whether you come with armoured vehicles,
Rivers people will be there. This time, you will see women. Let me see how you
will kill them that day. I am recruiting Rivers people to protect democracy.”
The governor, however, commended
the police and other security agencies for their sacrifices in crime fighting
in the state.
Noting that he would continue to
insist that the police do the right thing, Wike assured that his administration
would continue to support their operations.
