INEC is overheating the polity – Wike

                                              

Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of Rivers State has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of overheating the polity by its actions which, he claimed, do not inspire confidence in stakeholders .

The governor also reaffirmed his statement that security agencies operating in the state are planning to assassinate him .

According to a statement issued by the Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, the Governor spoke on Channels Television breakfast programme: “Sunrise Daily” on Monday, stressing that several actions of the electoral body connote that it is working for a specific political interest and political party.

He said all his public statements against INEC and the Police are backed by incontrovertible facts and intelligence in his possession . He said aside weak press statements, INEC and Police have failed to deny these weighty allegations

He said that during the March 19 Rerun elections in Rivers State , INEC suspended elections in 8 Local Government Areas including Tai Local Government Area , only for the same INEC to wake up four months later to concoct results in favour of the APC .

The governor pointed out that INEC did not list Tai Local Government Area as one of the areas where rerun elections would be held , noting that such action was unbecoming .

He said that ahead of the rerun elections , the police is overtly partisan.
