Rivers APC continues to accuse INEC of ganging up with Gov Wike to steal its mandate

The timelines and activities to conclude the March 9 governorship election in Rivers State as announced at a stakeholders meeting, is skewed to favour Governor Nyesom Wike and the People Democratic Party PDP, so claims the All Progressive Congress.

Senibo Chris Finebone, the party’s Spokesman condemned the timelines and activities describing it as “a mere charade well-organised and choreographed” by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in its bid to work from answer to question.

Finebone also added that several actions of INEC had prepared the minds of many that the entire exercise was planned to favour Governor Wike and and his party, PDP.

He said; “For example, where and under whose custody were the result sheets and other sensitive materials involved in the collation process kept since they were not returned to the Central Bank for safe-keeping? How come that Gov. Wike knew about the 17 LGAs whose results had been allegedly collated and had posted same on his official Twitter handle long before INEC made the announcement? Answers to these and other questions will continue to hang on their neck like an albatross.”

The APC Spokesman also declared that; “the truth is that what is happening now is in complete fulfillment of the tripartite collaboration between Gov. Wike, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Obo Effanga ably assisted by the Administrative Secretary of INEC in Rivers State, Mr. Etim John. INEC Headquarters is merely leading the Nunc Dimittis.”
