Governor Nyesom Wike has accused President Muhammadu Buhari
and the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi of interfering in the
2019 governorship election in Rivers State.
Governor Wike made the claims on Wednesday during the
flag-off ceremony of the construction of internal roads in Igwuruta, Ikwerre
local government area of the state.
He said the president through the former minister of
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi had used the security agencies to attempt to
scuttle the governorship election.
The governor said the people of the state stood against the
action of the security agencies.
He said ” I heard Mr president said yesterday that he will
not interfere (in the 2023 election ). He told the governors he will not
interfere.
“In the other one (2019) you interfered by sending people to
come and finish us in Rivers State.
“Thank you Mr President for saying you will not interfere or
intimidate anybody. Which means there’s no way for your party.
“Of course he interfered last time by using the army through
the former minister of Transportation but the people stood up and said no this
will not happen.
“I thank Mr president that he wants to leave a legacy of
conducting a free and fair election”.
