Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has advised members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State to defend their votes or blame themselves. Wike, who spoke yesterday during the PDP governorship campaign in Onitsha, alleged that the APC Federal Government plans to rig the governorship election for its candidate.
He, however, said the APC can only rig if Anambra people allow it, urging PDP members to disregard the claim by the Federal Government that the governorship election won’t be rigged. He described the APC as a sinking political party that has nothing to offer, but places emphasis on rigging.
He said: “If you don’t defend your votes, you have yourself to blame. They can only rig if you allow them. Don’t allow them. Stay at the polling units. Monitor your votes.Defend your votes on November 18. Make sure your votes count.”
The governor further urged party faithful to emulate the resistance of Rivers people, which stopped the Federal Government from rigging the rerun elections in the state, just as he berated the APC Federal Government for promising to start work in Anambra State in 2018, when it abandoned the state since 2015. He said: “Oseloka Obaze is the answer. They will bring intimidation. Please use Rivers State as example. They pushed me and I pushed them. Follow the ballot boxes bumper to bumper."
