The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Governor of Rivers, Nyesom Wike of engaging in “unwholesome conducts” in the recently concluded re-run election in the state.
In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in Abuja, the APC said Wike’s action has confirmed its fears on the election.
He said, “The leaked audio recording showing the Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike admitting to bribing some electoral officials and threatening to kill them if his instructions were not followed has confirmed the fears raised by the All Progressives Congress in the lead up to the recently conducted December 10, 2016 legislative re-run elections in the State.
“Going by the revelations from the leaked audio recordings, it is obvious that Governor Wike may have engaged in unwholesome conducts that might have compromised the integrity of the electoral process and undermined his office as the Chief Security Officer of a state.
“The only logical conclusion from this therefore is that the electoral victories of the Peoples Democratic Party may have been achieved through underhand dealings and intimidation of officials.”
Governor Wike was overheard in an telephone conversation released by Sahara Reporters threatening to ‘kill’ an INEC official as he asked for an update from another official on the plans to rig the election.
