Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says the state has
petitioned the inspector-general of police (IGP), to ensure that politicians
are restricted to their polling units during the governorship election in the
state.
Wike spoke on Thursday during a state broadcast in Port
Harcourt, the capital of Rivers.
The governor said the state filed the petition because there
were plans by politicians to parade suspected thugs to disrupt the election.
“We have noticed that the anti-terrorism unit of the state
police command continues to provide VIP security services to politicians in
defiance of the inspector general’s order to withdraw all police personnel
attached to VIPs during the elections,” he said.
“We, therefore,
request the inspector-general of police to enforce his order by ensuring that
all political leaders are restricted to their polling units and prevented from
moving about with police escort.
Wike said the state expects the security operatives to be
professional throughout the election.
The governor also declared Friday as a public holiday to
enable voters to travel to their communities ahead of the Saturday poll.
