2019: Gov Wike unveils INEC, APC plot to allegedly rig Rivers, Delta, A’Ibom elections

The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the state governor, Nyesome Wike doesn’t know his date of birth, as there are three different dates in circulation on his birth date.

The party in a statement on Thursday in Port Harcourt described as a celebration of treachery, deceit and fraud, the celebration of the birthday of Governor Wike on 13th December.

The APC statement signed by its State Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said, “it is unfortunate and sad that the almighty Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State who is today the jewel and pride of the opposition political party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) doesn’t know his date of birth. Though this maybe shocking to the outside world but those of us who are his close associates are not shocked a bit knowing his antecedents as a fellow who is capable of using any method whether sinister, unholy, untoward or otherwise to achieve any task he sets his mind to achieve including deceiving the world on his day of birth.”

The party further said, “We have read several birthday messages from both his family members, political associates etc celebrating his birthday on 13th December while the documents he presented to INEC and some educational Institutions on oath indicates that he was actually born on March 13, 1963 and not December, 13th 1968 as he makes the world to believe. Sadly as if he is not contented with been born on two different days the great Google on the other hand claims that Governor Wike was born on 24th August, 1967. What a feat! An individual claiming three different days as his birthday.”

The party made available documents it claimed are Wike’s age declaration form, sample of his birthday celebration and the Google’s stand “for doubting ‘Thomasess’”.

The statement also read in part: “According to the age declaration sworn by his elder brother, Chief Collins Wike and Clergy father and presented to INEC and some educational Institutions, Governor Wike is said to be born on March 13, 1963. This date contradicts the new age of 13th December, 1968 and the Google date of 24th August, 1967. To some funny PDP leaders, Wike is not only a reputable leader but the embodiment of the alien democracy being practised by PDP.

“In a congratulatory birthday message signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP new National Publicity Secretary, Governor Wike was described as “the jewel and pride of not only the Party and Rivers State but also the nation at large” PDP went further to hail Governor Wike for his political sagacity which had propelled the party to greater heights. It is sad that such character as Gov Wike because he has continued to waste the Rivers State funds to sponsor the activities of PDP he has become the face and hero of democracy.

“To us in APC, “If such a character is the jewel of PDP, Nigerians need not be told what the party PDP is made up with and what they are capable of doing”.

The party contended that “as much as we as a political party wish Governor Wike God’s stead, but we need to wait till 13th March, 2018 or August 24 2018 to formally send to him our official birthday gifts and card”.

It also said that “the alien democracy that Wike’s PDP is practicing is democracy of fraud, high-tech looting, high level of impunity and high-tech election rigging tactics as acted during her just concluded elective convention and it will be a disaster for this country if such a party is voted back to power.

“If Wike can be involved in this type of act of not knowing the date of his birthday or rather presenting forged documents as his birthday certificate why should the world believe or accept funny documents he cooked up in order to indict an innocent man like Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi erstwhile Governor of Rivers State and incumbent Minister of Transportation.

“To patriotic Nigerians, instead of celebrating Wike’s fraudulent birthday, Nigerians should be mourning that a man without vision who governs a State without any budgetary provision; sponsoring anti FSARS groups to allow criminals pervades Rivers State, who in the midst of plenty owes a lot of backlog in salaries to civil servants and arrears of pension to pensioners.

“A man well versed and notorious in embarking on low-value projects spiced up with massive media coverage. A man who has destroyed our education by recalling our students on scholarship overseas, etc, in addition to several other atrocities is today the jewel and leader of a great political party like PDP”, the party lamented.
