Accusing the commission of an underhanded plot, Wike in a statement made available to newsmen by Simeon Nwakaudu his special assistant on electronic media also said there was no good road to the hometown of a late APC Chieftain, when that administration spent eight years with huge resources accruing to the state , but only embezzled development funds. He also said the inconclusive rerun elections in the state are a fall-out of the grand conspiracy to rig the polls in favour of an unpopular party. He also said: “Because people want to illegally seize power in Rivers State, that is why you are hearing all these. All these plots is to take Rivers State. Why do you want to take Rivers State when it is not your own? “Between March 19th and now, they planned to do elections so that they can get the number of seats to impeach me and put their own man. Since March, everyday they postpone the elections. “From May to June to July, August then September. They said October ending, still no election. Now, they say 10th of December and when we get to 10th of December, they may shift it to next year.” READ ALSO: PRESSURE: Buhari, Amaechi under attack as PDP seeks probe He also said it was strange that INEC which conducted successful elections in the north east and Sambisa forest could not conduct a successful election in Rivers state. “Election took place in Borno , election took place in Yobe, election took place in Adamawa where you have deadly insurgency . “They were able to conduct elections and votes were counted. They were able to conduct election in Sambisa forest and votes were counted, but they cannot conduct election here in Rivers State,” the governor said. He explained how INEC and her collaborators have denied the people of Rivers state representation in the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Rivers state house of assembly. He said: “They continue to postpone the elections in Rivers state. The Senate will be discussing the petroleum industry bill, they will be having the constitutional amendment and the state that produces the oil has no senator and cannot be part of the discussion. Nobody will defend Rivers state in the senate. “Nigerians are not worried. Why? Rivers is a minority state.” The governor also said that the state was peaceful contrary to what detractors were saying, hence it has played host to series of international and national conferences.

He spoke on the financial woes of the state adding that there were deliberate anti-development programmes slated against Rivers state, pointing out that the state has successfully overcome these plots. “We are the only state that applied for bail out, but they did not give to us. We are the only state where they started deducting our funds, when a loan facility has not been given to us”, the governor noted. In conclusion, he called on members of the Nigeria institute of architects to partner with Rivers state government for development designs that will enhance the growth of the state. Architect Tonye Braide, the president of the body, assured Governor Wike that Nigerian architects will support his development designs for Rivers state. Meanwhile, the wife of the Rivers state governor, Justice Eberechi Nyesom-Wike has reacted to the statement made by President Muhammadu Buhari. “All women have been through a lot as they strive to build the society. Our contributions to societal development cannot be underestimated. “I belong to the kitchen, I belong to the living room and I belong to every room created by God, so also other women.” Want to read news with extra convenience?
