Rivers Commissioner for Information and Communications, Emma Okah, a lawyer on Tuesday reacted to comments by Amaechi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress , during a news conference yesterday in Abuja, where he described as deadly, the ambition of Governor Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party to continue in office.
“Nigerians cannot forget in a hurry that right in the presence of President Muhammadu Buhari during the APC Presidential Campaign Rally in Port Harcourt, the Minister for Transportation threatened to kill Rivers people, in order to ensure the presidential election of February 23, 2019 is rigged in favour of his party.
“After killing Rivers people, especially PDP members, the Minister for Transportation is struggling to divert attention of the public, by claiming that those killed are members of the APC. This is a known trick of the failed minister. Each time he orders the deaths of Rivers people, he rushes to Abuja to lie.
Okah also described Wike, who earlier threatened INEC officials with death, by asking them to first write their wills, before coming to Rivers state for electoral duties, as a man of peace, a promoter of peaceful and credible elections, who he claimed had been insisting that the votes of Rivers people must count.
