“A man who pockets dollars in his babanriga from contractors is not isolated and you say that I should be isolated. In this where are we heading to?' - Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike (GovWike) GovUmarGanduje

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Prince Uche Secondus has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure free, fair and credible in the September 19 Edo state governorship election.

Cautioning the government against using the military and other security agencies to subvert the will of the voters, Secondus urged respect for electoral rules. “But where it’s obvious that they have nothing to offer to get the votes of Nigerians, they are resorting to all devious means to undermine the democratic process.“At this juncture, let me warn that APC might be standing on the excitement of its previous rigged elections in Osun, Ekiti, Kano and Kogi states in the past and may think that their victory at the tribunal legitimitised their underhand acts.

Wike said, “In 2016, we never knew the candidate had a lot of problems and that was why the people of Edo state listened to Oshimhole at that time. You can see a party that has no principle”. The Rivers Governor said, “But let us understand the statement made by Ganduje; don’t look at it ordinarily. What Ganduje said is that they have concluded with security agencies to make sure that the people of Edo state do not protect and defend their votes; that they will not allow them to come out and before you know it, they will announce the result.

“Let me tell you why they made Ganduje the chairman of the campaign council of the APC. It’s because of the dollars they saw. But for dollars, Ganduje could not have been made the chairman of the campaign council.
